Again this year Cec Murphey has asked CWFI to oversee the
granting of 10 scholarships for the 2009 Blue
Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference.
Blue Ridge is a
premier conference on the East Coast. It is scheduled for May 17-21, 2009.
Terms for the scholarships are the same as last year. The Cecil Murphey Scholarship Fund will pay all room, board, and tuition costs. Winners are
responsible only for travel costs to and from the conference.
If you have writer-friends who are not members of the CWFI Family, but who would benefit from
this opportunity, please pass along information to them or send them to the
CWFI home page: www.cwfi-online.org
for complete details and instructions.
Specs are as follows:
1. Give your name and full contact information: address,
telephone number, and email address if you have one. You don’t want to take a
chance on losing a scholarship because we’re unable to contact you.
2. Tell us whether you’ve ever been published and paid for
your work.
3. Tell us whether you’ve ever attended a writers
conference. If so, where and when?
4. In 50 words or less, tell us why you want to attend the
Blue Ridge conference.
5. Submit your entry in hard copy to CWFI, 1624 Jefferson
Davis Rd., Clinton, SC 29325 and mark your envelope: BRMCWC Scholarship. The
deadline for entries is Feb.15, 2009.
Rooms for winners will be double-occupancy, and scholarships
will be awarded based on financial need and close attention to entry
instructions.
We will announce the 10 winners and 2 alternates in the
March/April 2009 issue of Cross &
Quill and on the CWFI Web site.
