The Miles Morland Foundation Writing Scholarship 2024

The Miles Morland Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2024 Morland Writing Scholarships for African writers is open for entries from 1 July. The deadline for submissions is 20 September.

It can be difficult for writers, before they become established, to write while simultaneously earning a living. To help meet this need the MMF annually awards a small number of Morland Writing Scholarships, with the aim being to allow each Scholar the time to produce the first draft of a completed book. The Scholarships are open to anyone writing in the English language who was born in Africa, or both of whose parents were born in Africa.

Grant:

Scholars will receive a grant of £18,000, paid monthly over the course of twelve months. At the discretion of the Foundation, Scholars writing non-fiction, who require additional research time, could receive an additional grant, paid over a period of up to eighteen months.

Please note, this competition is run by The Miles Morland Foundation, not the Commonwealth Foundation.
