SCC Joan Didion Scholarship for Writers
The Joan Didion Scholarship for Writers will support SCC students who aspire to have a career in writing, with a preference for students majoring in English, Journalism or History. Students should submit their very best piece of writing in 1,000 words or less for review by a faculty committee. This can be writing they have completed for an SCC class (such as a creative writing, literature, composition, or journalism class), or work they have done outside of school. Essays that students have written as part of the scholarship application process are not eligible for submission. Depending on the submissions in any given year, the review committee may decide to award one scholarship or multiple scholarships, and/or may decide to award different scholarships for writing from different genres.
