The MFA Program, with funds provided by the Graduate School and the English Department, is able to support opportunities for students to present their work at readings, conferences and other events. Funds are divided equally between poets and fiction writers.
Criteria: Grants of $100-$300 are offered to offset travel costs associated with an invitation to read, present a paper, or representing a literary organization at a conference. There are two opportunities to apply for Travel Funds, when available: one in the fall and one in the spring. Look for the call for applications and respond by the deadline. Travel Grants are dependent on annual funding.
