The National Writers Association Foundation exists to enhance the future of writers by fostering continuing education through awarding scholarships, and providing low or no cost workshops and seminars.  A non-profit organization, we provide education and an ethical resource for writers at all levels of experience.

• Scholarships will be awarded on a merit basis regardless of age, location, or any other bias. Applicants interested in pursuing further education in one of the writing disciplines are given preference. Please state on the application which type of award you are applying to receive.
• The following awards are currently available to applicants: 2 fully paid scholarships to the National Writers Association Foundation Conference, held annually the second weekend in June -- approximate value $250 per scholarship; 1 Tuition free Scholarship to the National Writers School (value approx. $400); 1 Cash award scholarship of $1,000 no use restriction.
• An internship at the National Writers Association headquarters is also available to interested students enrolled in a qualified college, high school HERO, or vocational education program. To apply for this internship, please complete the attached form and state you are applying for the internship rather than a scholarship.
• NO MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL WRITERS ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE NATIONAL WRITERS ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OR NWAF/NWA STAFF MEMBERS OR THEIR FAMILIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY OF THE ABOVE AWARDS.
