The Gwenn A. Nusbaum-WWBA Scholarship application is open January 1 – April 1, 2024.
Walt Whitman Birthplace Association (WWBA) invites applications for the Gwenn A. Nusbaum-WWBA Scholarship. The $1800 scholarship is offered in the spirit of Walt Whitman’s poem, “O Me! O Life!” He writes: “That you are here – that life exists and identity, / That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.”
Applications are sought from those poets at the early stages of their careers, ages 25-35 years. This scholarship, awarded every year, aims to encourage and assist an emerging poet in their creative poetry writing endeavors.
