The Arnold Greenfield Financial Aid Award program now provides four full, need-based scholarships to community members to cover tuition for a course offered through the Poetry Center's Classes & Workshops program. Four full scholarships are awarded each term (fall, spring, and summer). The Poetry Center is grateful for this generous financial support for poets and writers in our Southern Arizona community.

Eligibility: Any community member with financial need is eligible to apply with the exception of Poetry Center employees and interns, and winners from the previous award cycle. In the application, you need only attest to financial need: i.e., the inability to pay a course's tuition without financial strain.

Financial aid is awarded by lottery and may be applied to any course a recipient wishes. The scholarship must be used during the season for which it is awarded.
