About the Program
The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity and stipend for our members to delve deeper into the craft of writing or illustrating while completing a related project during the period of their residence. In turn, these Scholars will share with us their learnings and the results of their work through a presentation or workshop (can be in-person or online).
Any current, active member of SCBWI San Francisco/South is eligible to apply. (Members must reside in one of these counties – San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey, or San Benito). Our regional team reads every application and chooses who we collectively feel is best suited based on the strength. Current members of the regional team are ineligible to apply.
SF/South is committed to supporting Scholars-in-Residence who would be able to make a significant contribution to the world of children’s literature.
