James W. Foley Memorial Prize

The prize honors the life and writing of MFA/fiction graduate James Wright Foley. The prize is designed to support the work of writers who express a political awareness and sensitivity in their prose, and whose concerns extend beyond the limits of their particular circumstances and language. All MFA students are eligible; however, recipients may only receive the prize once. Applicants will submit a 15 to 25-page prose-writing sample.
