<p>Hearty congratulations, Tessa &amp; Denise!</p>
<p>I look forward to working with both of you in classes in a few weeks.</p>
<p>Thanks to EVERYONE who applied! Choosing scholarship recipients is         extremely difficult because I always receive so many applications    from     worthy writers. And this time around was no exception.</p>
<p>Watch this blog, <a href="../" target="_blank">christinakatz.com</a> and/or subscribe to <em>The Prosperous Writer</em> e-zine for all the details on future offers.  I’m very happy to be able    to grant one scholarship for each of these classes each time I offer    the class.</p>
<p>If you have not checked out my classes, you can learn more on the “<a href="../register/#WPSS" target="_blank">Register</a>”       page. I am still accepting students for the January 4th <a href="../register/#WPSS" target="_blank"> Writing    &amp;   Publishing the Short Stuff</a> class and the <a href="../register/#Spec" target="_blank">Discover Your  Specialty &amp; Launch Your Platform</a> class.</p>
<p>I am also still accepting students for the January 5th <a href="http://christinakatz.com/work-with-me/register/#PP" target="_blank">Pitching Practice: Writer Six Queries in Six Weeks</a> class and the <a href="http://christinakatz.com/work-with-me/register/#Flex" target="_blank">60 Ways To Flex Your Content &amp; Prosper in Your Niche</a> class.</p>
<p>Classes will fill up, so  don’t wait! Space is limited.</p>
<p>Also please keep in mind, if you hope   to participate in  the January – May 2012  Dream   Team,   you  needed to complete Writing &amp; Publishing  the Short Stuff class. If you have, I hope you will join us. More <a href="http://christinakatz.com/work-with-me/practice/" target="_blank">info on Dream Teams here</a>.</p>
<p>Congratulations again, Tessa and Denise. I look forward to working with you!</p>

<p>Each scholarship has a value of $275. (Pretty good, right?)</p>
<p>If you’d like to apply for a scholarship, you have to choose one. Please do not apply for both.</p>
<p>The first scholarship is for the newly updated <a href="../register/#WPSS" target="_blank">Writing &amp; Publishing The Short Stuff</a> class.</p>
<p>The second scholarship is for the newly updated <a href="../register/#Spec" target="_blank">Discover Your Specialty &amp; Launch Your Platform</a> class.</p>
<p>Be sure to make it clear in the subject line which scholarship you     have selected. I’ve listed the guidelines for each below. First WPSS  and    then DYS&amp;LYP.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>[Begin WPSS Scholarship Info]</p>
<div><strong>Are you a mom, who would love to take the Writing and        Publishing the Short Stuff Class that starts January 4th, but you      would  not  otherwise be able to afford it?</strong></div>
<div>
<p>Then you qualify for The Writer Mama Scholarship.</p>
<p>The application process for the next available scholarship for     Writing &amp; Publishing The Short Stuff Class begins today!<strong> I am     accepting applications until Monday, December 12th at midnight.</strong></p>
</div>
<p>One full scholarship is granted each time the class is held. Please    read this post  completely and double-check your application  before      submitting. <strong>The recipient will be announced on Wednesday, December 14th in this blog.</strong></p>
<p>Please feel free to spread the word about the scholarship, even if        you do not intend to apply. This is a full scholarship. The  recipient       commits to participating fully in the class and  delivering all six       assignments on time.</p>
<p>Please do not apply if you cannot make the       commitment to  participate in the class, which involves reading the       weekly  workbook, completing your assignments, and learning from your        classmates work. (To learn about what you will get out of the class, <a href="http://christinakatz.com/work-with-me/register/#WPSS" target="_blank">please read the full class description</a>.)</p>
<p>No additional time or special coaching is offered with      the   scholarship. It’s up to the scholarship recipient to make the   most      of the class.</p>
<p>Please note that this is a <em>scholarship</em>, not a giveaway. This     scholarship is only for moms and is offered by class     instructor, Christina Katz (that’s me).</p>
<p>One scholarship is available per WPSS class. The scholarship  is  not  transferable if you fail to complete the     class. The  scholarship   is also not transferable in the case of illness,     family    emergencies, a move, etc. If you have already paid for the class, you do  not qualify for the        scholarship. If you have already taken the  class, you also do not        qualify.</p>
<p>What is written in your application is private and your personal        information will never be shared or sold beyond announcing the name of    the recipient. The only way to qualify is to     apply each time. No   one  else will view your application.</p>
<p>The application questions are below. Copy and paste them into a        Microsoft Word document (to take the class you must be able to create        and read Microsoft Word documents—no exceptions). <em>Attach your  application as a Word doc     to your e-mail. Please answer each  question concisely and     completely.</em></p>
<p>Send your application to: “christina at christinakatz dot com” – this        the only email address for the scholarship. If you do not receive   the      scholarship, save your application for future scholarships and      re-apply.   Always add in your most current publication credits,   since    they are   important. Put “WPSS Scholarship Application” in the   subject   line.</p>
<p>The scholarship recipient will be chosen based on the following      criteria: demonstrated effort, need, and enthusiasm. <em>The most important      consideration is demonstrated past effort</em>,   so please don’t skimp on      details of your past writing efforts.   Applications accepted from  U.S.     residents only at this time.<em> </em></p>
<p><em>Please Note: The Writer Mama Scholarship is only for moms who        legitimately cannot afford class tuition for whatever reason.  So if    you     work at home, earn money, receive money, or your spouse or     partner     earns enough money for you to afford the class, please    expect to  regular pay  price. My classes are kept affordable  specifically so   moms can afford   them!</em></p>
<p>To register for the class as a non-scholarship candidate, <a href="http://christinakatz.com/work-with-me/register/#WPSS" target="_blank">please visit the registration page</a>. Space in the class is limited.</p>

<p>I look forward to working with you in a few weeks.</p>
<p>Thanks to EVERYONE who applied! Choosing scholarship recipients is extremely difficult because I always receive many applications   from     worthy writers. And this time around was no exception.</p>
<p>Watch this blog, <a href="../" target="_blank">christinakatz.com</a> and/or subscribe to <em>The Prosperous Writer</em> e-zine for all the details on future offers.  I’m happy to be able   to grant one scholarship for each of these classes each time I offer   the class.</p>
<p>If you have not checked out my classes, you can learn more on the “<a href="../register/#WPSS" target="_blank">Register</a>”       page. I am still accepting students for the August 24th  Writing    &amp;   Publishing the Short Stuff class. But it will fill up, so  don’t wait!</p>
<p>There are also several other classes being offered this time around including Pitching Practice, Micro-publishing for Mom Writers, and Personal Essays That Get Published.</p>
<p>Keep in mind, if you hope   to participate in  the Dream   Team that runs January &#8211; May 2012,   you will  need to complete   Writing &amp; Publishing the Short Stuff prior the end of 2011.</p>

<p>Please feel free to spread the word about the scholarship, even if     you do not intend to apply. This is a full scholarship. The recipient     commits to participating fully in the class and deliver all six     assignments on time.</p>
<p>Please do not apply if you cannot make the   commitment to   participate in the class, which involves reading the   weekly workbook,   completing your assignments, and reviewing (but not critiquing) your     classmates work. No additional time or special coaching is offered with     the scholarship. It’s up to the scholarship recipient to make the  most    of the class.</p>
<p>Please note that this is a scholarship, not a giveaway. This    scholarship is only for moms. The scholarship is offered by class    instructor, Christina Katz (that’s me).</p>
<p>If you have already paid for the class, you do not qualify for the     scholarship. If you have already taken the class, you also do not     qualify. Otherwise one scholarship is available per class.</p>
<p>The scholarship is not transferable if you fail to complete the     class. The scholarship is also not transferable in the case of illness,     family emergencies, a move, etc.</p>
<p>What is written in your application is private and your personal     information will never be shared or sold. The only way to qualify is to     apply each time. No one else will view your application except me.</p>
<p>The application questions are below. Copy and paste them into a     Microsoft Word document (to take the class you must be able to create     and read Microsoft Word documents, no exceptions). Attach your Word doc     to your application. Please answer each question concisely and     completely.</p>
<p>Send your application to: “katzchristina at comcast dot net”– this     the only email address for the scholarship. If you do not receive the     scholarship, save your application for future scholarships and   re-apply. Put “DYS-LYP Scholarship Application” in the subject line.</p>
<p>The scholarship recipient will be chosen based on the following     criteria: demonstrated effort, need, and enthusiasm. Applications   accepted from U.S.   residents only at this time.<em> </em></p>
<p><em>Please Note: Writer Mama Scholarships are only for moms who     legitimately cannot afford class tuition for whatever reason.  So if you     work at home, earn money, receive money, or your spouse or  partner     earns enough money for you to afford the class, please expect to  pay     full price. My classes are kept affordable so that moms can take   them!</em></p>
<p>To register for the class as a non-scholarship candidate, <a href="../register/#Spec" target="_blank">please visit the registration page</a>. Space in the class is limited.</p>
<p>I am pleased to offer one scholarship per semester to one deserving mama. Best of luck to everyone who applies.</p>

<p>Hearty congratulations, Amalia!</p>
<p>I look forward to working with you in class in a few weeks. I will send you a class confirmation shortly.</p>
<p>Thanks to EVERYONE who applied! Choosing scholarship recipients is always extremely difficult because I receive so many applications from worthy writers. And this time around was no exception.</p>
<p>I encourage you all to apply again for the next WPSS class, which is scheduled to begin May 4th. Anything you can do to beef up the your traditional publication credits between now and the next application round is a good strategy.</p>
<p>Watch this blog, christinakatz.com and/or subscribe to The Prosperous Writer e-zine for all the details. I’m very happy to be able to grant one scholarship each time I offer this class.</p>
<p>If you have not checked out my classes, you can learn more on the “Register” page. I am still accepting students for all of my March 9th classes, which include WPSS, PP, Turn Your Specialty Into Course Curriculum and Personal Essays that Get Published with Abigail Green.</p>
<p>And keep in mind, if you plan to participate in the new fall classes (Micro-Publishing for Mom Writers and Multi-weave Your Way to Success), you’ll need to complete Writing &#038; Publishing the Short Stuff and Discover Your Specialty &#038; Launch Your Platform first.</p>
<p>Congratulations again, Amalia. I look forward to working with you!</p>
