Financial Aid

The GPCW is currently offering several scholarships for new, full-time MFA / M.A. students who enroll for summer 2019. Scholarships range from $4,000/yr. to $10,000/yr. We are tremendously grateful to the Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation for support for one of our current poetry scholarships. 

Cross-genre study

MFA candidates in good standing may apply to add a second concentration to their degree by increasing the duration of their program to six semesters and a fourth summer residency. Admission to the second concentration requires a letter of intent and depends on approval from the faculty in both concentrations.
