Donate to our growing Scholarship FundS
Donate today to the Okey Napier, Jr. Diversity & Inclusion MFA Scholarship, established in honor of a dear MFA student lost from our community on July 17, 2018.
The Irene McKinney Memorial Scholarship for Writers was established in 2012, in honor of our founding director, by gifts from friends and colleagues. As the memorial fund grows, more sizable tuition scholarships will be awarded annually to one or more MFA graduate students who show strong potential and who have financial need.
