We are pleased to announce that the Paddy O’Rourke
Poetry Scholarship will again be awarded to a Saskatchewan Grade 12
student. Entries will be accepted from April 1-30.
The Scholarship amount this year
is $3,000, but perhaps more important than the financial benefit is the
encouragement the award gives to students with outstanding literary
talent.
This is the fifth year of the
Scholarship. Previous winners have come from Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Regina
and, most recently, Maple Creek. (Please note: Judges are never aware of
a poet’s name, residence or any other personal information until after the
winner has been selected.)
This year, we are hoping to
increase the number of entries. There are still a number of high schools
throughout the province who have never been represented. Young poets can often
be very shy about submitting their work. A teacher’s encouragement is so very
important!
There are no entry or other fees.
The Scholarship is endorsed by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.
