Submitted by Museum of the Cheroke PeopleAs a first-voice institution, Museum of the Cherokee People is committed to facilitating opportunities for Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) creatives on the Qualla Boundary and beyond. Created to ensure access to high-quality writing instruction for enrolled members of our Tribe, the Confluence Scholarship is open to enrolled members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. A week-long residency, the Appalachian Writers’ Workshop welcomes published and unpublished writers alike, all learning alongside one another in a supportive environment guided by the region’s unique tradition. Beginning, emerging, and established EBCI writers are all encouraged to apply and, if selected, are eligible to receive the Confluence Scholarship. For scholarship consideration, under the “Tell us a little about yourself” section, include the text “Confluence Scholarship” and your EBCI enrollment number.
