All creative writing students are fully funded.  Funding comes from a variety of sources, but most students are funded through research assistantships and teaching assistantships.  For more information, see the Graduate Student Handbook.

Students are also able to apply for a one-year internship with The Georgia Review. Information about this opportunity will be emailed to students in late March for the next academic year.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to email the Director of the Creative Writing Program, Dr. Aruni Kashyap at aruni.kashyap@uga.edu
