Announcing the Macmillan Learning Scholarship for CWPA Workshop!

CWPA is thrilled to announce the second annual Bedford St. Martin's/Macmillan Learning Scholarship for a WPA from an under-represented institution to participate in the Summer workshop June 23-25th at the University of Houston - Clear Lake. The scholarship amount $1,750 will be used to cover the workshop registration fees, travel, and lodging.

In our efforts to make the workshop inclusive and open to members of underrepresented institutions and communities, the scholarship application is open for CWPA members and non-members alike.

Considering the restrictions some states have on accepting gifts from publishers, while the scholarship is sponsored by Bedford St. Martin's/Macmillan Learning, it is from CWPA. There should not be any conflict of interest involved.

Writing program directors and coordinators, or anyone performing the work of a WPA without a formal title, including but not limited to WPAs at MSIs (minority-serving institution) and Two-Year Colleges, who are interested to be considered for this scholarship should send the following:

  • A recent CV
  • A one-page letter of interest

Please send application materials to CWPA officers: President (councilofwpa@gmail.com), Vice President (elehman4@ivytech.edu), Treasurer (cwpatrasurer@gmail.com), and Secretary (cwpasecretary@gmail.com). Use (Summer Workshop Scholarship Application) in the subject line.

The deadline of applications is 5:00 PM EDT Wednesday June 4th, 2025.

For questions, please email any CWPA officer.

We look forward to receiving your application.
