Poetry School is offering a full fees scholarship award (£8,100) to the Poetry School / Newcastle University MA in Writing Poetry for an outstanding applicant who is currently underrepresented in the poetry world.
The accredited MA Writing Poetry uniquely combines masterclasses, workshops, and individual teaching with a core footing in the professional poetry world, encompassing all aspects of creative practice. There is expert tuition from nationally and internationally renowned poets: Glyn Maxwell and Tamar Yoseloff (London); Tara Bergin, W.N. Herbert, Sinéad Morrissey, and Jacob Polley (Newcastle). Students come together for a one-week summer school in July, alternating between the two cities each year.
The Scholarship will be awarded on a competitive basis to an applicant who has applied for 2021/22 entry on the MA Writing Poetry and has selected to study in London at Poetry School.
There are also three other scholarships available for MA in Writing Poetry students. There is the School Masters Scholarship (MA in Writing Poetry), the School Masters Scholarship (all Literature programmes), and the Black Academic Access Scholarship. Full details of these are available here: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/study/postgraduate-funding/. The deadline for these three Scholarships is Friday 9 July 2021, 5pm.
