Claudia Emerson Scholarship Fund

The Claudia Emerson Scholarship Fund was established in 2015 with gifts from family, friends and colleagues in memory of Claudia Emerson, a Pulitzer prize-winning poet and faculty member in the VCU Department of English in the College of Humanities and Sciences. The fund is awarded to students in the poetry or creative nonfiction MFA program in the Department of English.

Please note: Students do not apply for this scholarship. All nominations and selections are made by the English department’s MFA Committee
