The Writers Guild at Bloomington is offering the Ryser Scholarship to a high school student to attend a writing workshop or conference in 2023.
The scholarship will cover costs up to $400.
We recommend the IU Writers Conference (June 2023) although the applicant may choose a different workshop or conference.
The Ryser Scholarship is named for Joan Ryser, an English teacher who taught at Bloomington High School South for many years.
Before she passed away, she instructed her family to direct memorial contributions to a local program to encourage writers.
The Writers Guild was honored to be the recipient, and we decided to create a scholarship to help writers attend a workshop or conference.
Each year we offer this award to one of the following: an English teacher, a high school student, a member of the Writers Guild. We are honored to have this opportunity.
The Writers Guild at Bloomington is committed to diversity, equity and inclusivity.
