Norwescon 33 Clarion West Scholarship
Norwescon 33 has donated one fully funded scholarship to
Clarion West for one of their 2010 writing workshop students.  The scholarship will be officially presented at the Norwescon 33 Banquet to be held on Thursday, April 1 at 5PM.  Accepting the donation will be the incoming Clarion West Board Chair Kelley Eskridge and alumna Caren Gussoff.

"Scholarships don't just give money--they give hope to people who might otherwise think they can't afford the workshop experience," Eskridge said when she learned of the donation. "I'm enormously grateful to Norwescon 33 for their support of speculative fiction writers and readers, and for this generous gift of hope to a Clarion West student." Senior Workshop Administrator Leslie Howle added that Norwescon 33's gift "will be deeply appreciated by the entire Clarion West community."
