Grads, undergrads are eligible to apply for Campus Civic Poet Award

The Campus Civic Poet Award recognizes a student’s commitment to poetry and civic engagement and supports them in developing their voice and cultivating community. In addition to an honorarium (up to $1,000), the annual winner receives mentorship from faculty and staff as well as invitations to participate in campus-oriented, civic-related events. The awardee is also granted the WSU-Centrum Campus Civic Poet Fellowship to attend the Centrum Writers Conference.

Any undergraduate or graduate student enrolled on the WSU Pullman campus who intends to be enrolled for the upcoming academic year (fall and spring semesters) may apply.

Submit 3–5 poems of original work and a 200-word statement on your commitment to civic engagement that answers the questions:

  • What would winning this award mean to you?
  • How would it support your current and future civic endeavors or help you serve the community on the WSU Pullman campus through poetry?
