The program offers partial funding. The program offers a quarter-tuition merit scholarship to the top 10 percent of incoming students.
The Deborah Keenan Poetry Scholarship is offered annually to multiple poets who show considerable promise. The Judi Shaw Memorial Scholarship is offered biannually to an incoming MFA student who shows considerable promise. Students can apply for graduate teaching assistantships working with undergraduate creative writing students, graduate assistantships as research assistants, program ambassadorships and working with Water~Stone Review, Hamline’s national literary annual.
The program offers part and full-time options; students are expected to complete their degree in three to five years. Students are not required to specialize in one genre. Students also have the opportunity to serve on the editorial board of Water~Stone Review and Runestone Journal.
The priority deadline for scholarships is May 1 for a fall term start; December 5 for spring term start.
