Applications for the 2022 Thomas Lux Scholarship are now closed. The deadline to apply was November 15, 2021.

Through the generosity of some very special donors, we are offering a Thomas Lux Scholarship to provide one full workshop tuition scholarship for the upcoming 18th Annual Virtual Palm Beach Poetry Festival to a poet who has not previously attended a festival workshop. The scholarship covers full participant tuition and admission to all festival events. This fellowship is intended for a poet of promise who would benefit from the festival week events and workshop and would not otherwise be able to attend. A statement of need is requested with the application.

We are grateful to the individuals who united in the spirit of teaching, mentoring, and fostering excellence in poetry to honor the legacy of Thomas Lux’s life and work. He always gave support to poets who sought to develop their skill and abilities and recommended to many that they apply to attend the festival. Our festival always will remain synonymous with the creative lifeblood of this fine human being and gifted poet. Please use this link to apply for the Thomas Lux Scholarship.

Note: The festival does offer a limited number of partial tuition scholarships, subject to available funding, to applicants who might otherwise be unable to attend. The festival does not accept applications to more than one fellowship or scholarship opportunity in any single year. Duplicate applications may disqualify the applicant.
