NEA GRANT -- NEW SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
Through the Town of Franconia, The Frost Place has gratefully received a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a "Challenge America: Reaching Every Community Fast-Track Review Grant." This is the first grant of its kind made by the NEA in the state of New Hampshire during the past four years.•The NEA offers this type of support primarily to small and mid-sized organizations for projects that extend the reach of the arts to underserved populations -- those whose opportunities to experience the arts are limited by geography, ethnicity, economics, or disability. The grant provides support for the Frost Place poetry conferences in general, and in addition, funds four scholarships for qualified conference attendees.

Applicants for the NEA scholarships will first need to apply for admittance into one of the Frost Place conferences. On your application, please indicate if you would like to be considered for scholarship assistance. Upon acceptance, please send an email letter citing need and qualifications to the attention of Deming Holleran, at . You will then be informed whether you qualify for this or one of the other Frost Place scholarships.
