This year's Clarion class....
Out here at UC San Diego, we're blown away by the number of applicants and calibre of the students chosen for this year's Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers' Workshop. It is an incredible group of students from an amazing pool of applicants. We were pleased to see that:
-- the size of the applicant pool, proving that last year's pool wasn't an anomaly;
-- a couple applicants who didn't make it in last year made it in this year, and applications from people applying for the second time were uniformly better than their prior effort; and
-- there a lot of need for scholarship support out there.
The Clarion Foundation has put out out a call for donations to help fund scholarships for this year's students. The need is higher than last year, and the Foundation really needs your help. (We at UCSD prefer that scholarship giving go to the Foundation, so you can feel comfortable the money is going to students.) To help out, go to this page:
http://clarionfoundation.org/donatecash-p
where you can donate via Paypal or by mail. If you want to use a credit card, there's a link on that page directly below the words, "Donate Cash Using Paypal"; click on the link and you'll go to a page that takes credit cards.
Many thanks for any and all help you can provide! Best,
Jim
