About the Scholarship
The Horror Writers Association (HWA) has established two $2500 Scholarships to assist in the professional development of horror writers: The Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Scholarship, and the Horror Writers Association Scholarship. These rules also broadly apply to the other scholarships.

The Scholarships are effectively two facets of the same award; applicants enter the same competition using the same application form. A sub-committee of the HWA Board chooses the scholarship winners from that pool of applicants. The Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Scholarship is available for those members who identify as women and the Horror Writers Association Scholarship is available for any member, regardless of gender.
