1) a manuscript of no more than ten pages in length
OR slides (digital or regular) or good color copies of your visual art

The final deadline for applications is March 15; all applicants will be notified by April 1.
Paul and Eileen Mariani Scholarship for Poets
One partial scholarship will be awarded to an emerging poet of faith to attend either of the poetry workshops, thanks to The Paul and Eileen Mariani Fellowship for Poets. The fellowship enables one gifted poet to experience the rich fellowship of writers and faculty who gather at the Glen each year and, in the process, develop his or her craft and a deeper understanding of the vocation of a Christian writer. The fellowship honors Paul and Eileen Mariani's ongoing relationship with the Glen community and their passion for encouraging other poets of faith in their craft. In future years, this endowed fellowship will grow into a full scholarship.
Chrysostom Society
Several partial scholarships are available to writers thanks to a contribution from the Chrysostom Society. The Chrysostom Society, an outgrowth of the Milton Center, now housed with Image on the SPU campus, is a group of Christian writers that meets once a year. Members gather both for fellowship and to reflect on ways to promote excellence in writing and publishing by Christians. Members of the Society include such well-known Christian authors as Madeleine L'Engle, Eugene Peterson, Luci Shaw, and Philip Yancey.
City in Focus Scholarship for Canadians
One partial scholarship including tuition, room and board, and a small book and fee allowance will be awarded to a Canadian artist attending the Glen for the first time, for the class of his or her choice, thanks to City in Focus (Christian Leaders Foundation), of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Don Murdock Scholarship
One partial scholarship will be awarded to a artist or writer, in honor and memory of Don Murdock, former executive director of Laity Lodge. Laity is a retreat center in a river canyon in the hill country of Texas that offers not only rest and an opportunity to reflect on scripture, but retreats that use literature and art as pathways to spiritual growth. Murdock was actively dedicated to reaching out to artists to help enrich the Laity community. We are honored to carry on his work and vision at the Glen Workshop by nurturing an emerging artist in his name.
Master's Artist
One partial scholarship is available to a writer thanks to a grant from The Master's Artist, a writing collective that keeps up a lively on-line blog of musings, insights and opinions about "striving for excellence" in writing while "glorifying God's kingdom and edifying the Body of Christ."
More scholarships to be posted soon! All writers, visual artists, and songwriters are invited to apply.
The Glen Workshop is held in collaboration with
Christians in the Visual Arts and Christians in the Theatre Arts
