Each year CLNZ offers $3,500 tertiary scholarships to students enrolled in a Masters of Creative Writing programme at a number of universities across Aotearoa.

These scholarships were designed to encourage growth in the industry, to advocate publishing in New Zealand and to motivate the next generation of writers.

📰 We recently caught up with three of the Masters of Creative Writing scholarship recipients from 2022-2024 to see what impact the scholarship has had on their career. Scroll through our carousel of images to find out more.
