The Fine Print:
The
Poetry for the People Scholarship is only for poets who legitimately
cannot afford class tuition. My classes are kept affordable so that
more people can take them! You can register for the class as a non-scholarship candidate here. Next class starts on March 11. Don’t wait to register, this class fills early.
Please
note that this is a full scholarship, not a giveaway. The scholarship
is offered by Sage Cohen. Only one scholarship is available per P4P
class. The recipient commits to participating fully in the class and
delivering all six assignments on time. Please do not apply if you
cannot make the commitment to participate in the class.
The
scholarship is not transferable if you fail to complete the class. The
scholarship is also not transferable in the case of illness, family
emergencies, a move, etc.
No
special additional professional time or coaching is offered with the
scholarship. It’s up to the scholarship recipient to make the most of
the class, like everyone else in the group.
What
is written in your application is private, and your personal
information will never be shared or sold. No one but Sage Cohen will
view your application.

I’m pleased to be able to offer one free class per semester to one deserving poet. Good luck!
