unc creative writing program

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship

The Creative Writing Program and the Department of English of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are pleased to announce the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship.

It offers full four-year financial support to one incoming student per year, including tuition, room and board, books, a new laptop, and a summer stipend.

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship’s level of support is comparable to that of the University’s well-known Morehead Scholarships. Whereas the Morehead Scholarship places broad emphasis on a candidate’s exemplary leadership, community service, academic excellence, and physical vigor, the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship seeks to identify and reward students with exceptionally focused literary ability and promise.

Previous winners, application information.

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship will accept applications for its 24th national search  beginning September 1st, 2024 .

Please note that our application process involves two separate steps and two different dates, and all applicants must take both steps and meet both deadlines, to wit: Thomas Wolfe Scholarship applicants must apply  to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill  by the University’s October 15th, 2024 EARLY admission deadline and must meet all academic requirements for EARLY admission; and 2) Scholarship applicants must also apply  to The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship , with the deadline for submissions to the Scholarship being November 15th, 2024 (submissions must be electronically submitted by that date).   These are two distinct application processes and require different forms and separate online submissions.

The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship award will be based largely on written work submitted by candidates.  Artistic merit is the chief criterion of selection.  Students who write poetry, fiction, plays, creative nonfiction (personal essays, memoir, travel and nature essays, literary journalism, and lyric essays) are eligible. Multiple genre submissions are also encouraged. Submissions are limited to one application per student.

The application process requires the submission of a portfolio containing between forty (40) and fifty (50) pages of original creative writing composed in English. This work may be in any genre, and it may also be a combination of genres (for example: a short story, a short memoir, and three poems). In addition to completing the application, candidates must submit a five-hundred-word personal essay entitled “Why I Write.”

The age of entering students under The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship shall not exceed twenty-two (22) years. The scholarship is not available to undergraduate college students seeking to transfer to UNC-Chapel Hill from other institutions. All applicants should either be citizens of the United States and/or should be residing in the United States at the time of application.

The Board of Advisors of The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship may award the scholarship to a new recipient annually. However, the Board of Advisors may decide not to award the scholarship in any given year due to financial constraints, the quality of applicants, or other sufficient reason, in the Board’s sole discretion. The decision of the Board of Advisors will be final. The submission of an application will constitute assent to all conditions and stipulations expressed herein.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• If I am selected as the Thomas Wolfe Scholar, do I have to take creative writing classes at UNC? It is assumed by our Advisory Committee that only students who are deeply committed to the written word, the love of literature, the art of writing will apply for the Wolfe Scholarship. If students are applying for a scholarship that honors writing talent, it is also assumed that students will want to continue their study of writing at the college level. Students may choose to  major  in any discipline, but the Wolfe Scholar must agree to  minor  in Creative Writing.
• What if I’ve started college elsewhere or taken classes after high school graduation that would count as college credit?   To qualify as a candidate for the Wolfe Scholarship, you must plan to enter UNC-CH as a  first year student . College credits accumulated elsewhere, if transferable, should not exceed six hours, exclusive of AP and IB credits. You will be required to take a minimum of 12 hours each semester and complete your degree in four years. Students must be no older than 22 years of age and either a U.S. citizen or someone currently living in the United States.
• I’m confused about the number of pages to send. If I am sending poems, for example, and one poem takes up half a page, should I begin the next poem on that same page, or should I write one poem per page?   One poem per page is fine. If you are a prose writer and a story or essay ends half-way down a page, you may begin your next story or essay on a new page.
• Is the Thomas Wolfe Scholarship judged separately from a regular UNC application?   Yes. The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship Program is altogether separate from UNC’s Office of Admissions. Our committee works with Admissions and often shares application information when it is in a candidate’s best interest. Candidates for the Wolfe Scholarship should plan to submit applications to the Office of Admissions by their  October 15th deadline. DO NOT send Admission materials along with your Wolfe application!  Admissions packets should be sent under separate cover to the  UNC  Admissions Office.  Applications/submissions for the Scholarship itself should be sent to The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship  by our November 15th deadline.
• When will I be notified about the status of my application?  This year’s deadline for materials is  November 15 . Your application will be read by several preliminary readers. You will receive notice in mid-to-late February indicating whether or not you have advanced as a semi-finalist. From the semi-finalist list, the Advisory Committee will select approximately 3-5 finalists who will be notified in early March of their status and invited to a Zoom interview. The new Wolfe Scholar will be named by mid-April.
• Am I at a disadvantage if I’ve never published anything or won a writing contest?   No. Many high school students who are excellent writers have never published their work. Your application will be evaluated on the basis of your giving evidence of genuine artistry.
• Should I send SAT scores and high school transcripts in my application?   No. Although we expect Wolfe Scholars to make good grades, our primary interest is in evaluating your writing skills.
• In my writing submission, are any subjects taboo?   There are no restrictions whatsoever placed on content. Censorship of manuscripts is prohibited by the Advisory Board.
• I have used profanity in some of my writing. When I apply, should I include or omit works that have “language”?   Applicants should not feel inhibited by the fact that what they deem superior work contains profanity. We can tell when an author, in being true to his or her characters, is letting them speak in their own voices, however profane and/or unsettling those voices may be from time to time, and when, on the other hand, an author is using profanity merely for sensational effect, in a simplistic attempt to engage the reader with shock value, rather than real wit and literary style.

• English and Comparative Literature Major, B.A.

English and Comparative Literature majors study literature, film, writing, and media of broad geographic and cultural provenance, so students have opportunities to practice comparative thinking. Moreover, majors write and research about texts, film, and media inflected with markedly different generic and linguistic features, and this variety hones students' research and writing skills. English and Comparative Literature majors can follow a general course of study or choose to concentrate in one of seven different areas:

• British and American Literature
• Comparative and World Literatures
• Creative Writing
• Film Studies
• Science, Medicine and Literature
• Social Justice and Literature
• Writing, Editing, and Digital Publishing

See the Requirements page for details on the major concentrations.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the English and Comparative Literature program, students should be able to:

• Produce clear and persuasive analytical and/or creative writing (that demonstrates the qualities of literature)
• Research productively and effectively
• Read critically
• Compare and analyze texts and contexts
• Explain the significance and value of historical contexts 

Particularly at this moment in American culture and history, we believe these skills are essential, both in the workplace and in the public sphere more broadly. The major's core curriculum ensures that students gain historical breadth in their discipline (in the form of surveys) as well as depth (in courses that focus on a single genre, topic, or author and thus allow for a sustained emphasis on close analysis). Individual concentrations also provide learning outcomes specific to their area of study.

Requirements

In addition to the program requirements, students must

• earn a minimum final cumulative GPA of 2.000
• complete a minimum of 45 academic credit hours earned from UNC–Chapel Hill courses
• take at least half of their major core requirements (courses and credit hours) at UNC–Chapel Hill
• earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in the major core requirements. Some programs may require higher standards for major or specific courses.

For more information, please consult the degree requirements section of the catalog .

Core Curriculum

Concentration in british and american literature, concentration in science, medicine, and literature, concentration in social justice and literature, concentration in writing, editing, and digital publishing, concentration in creative writing, concentration in comparative and world literatures, concentration in film studies.

The concentration in Film and Media Studies includes different core requirements. See the requirements for this concentration below.

If no concentration is chosen, select seven (7) electives in ENGL and/or CMPL (excluding  ENGL 100 , ENGL 105 , ENGL 105I , ENGL 110, and ENGL 191 ).

Required for all concentrations except for the Creative Writing concentration.

In addition to the core curriculum (three courses) and additional requirements described above, students must complete the following requirements.

 Excluding  ENGL 100 , ENGL 105 , ENGL 105I , ENGL 110, and ENGL 191 .

No more than two (2) courses outside the department.

Students may substitute a course from this list for the depth requirement from the core. Students would then need to select a second course from this list to fulfill the requirement for the concentration.

No more than two (2) courses may be taken outside the department.

In addition to the core curriculum (three courses) described above, students must complete the following requirements. No concentration courses may be taken online.

No more than two (2) courses can be taken outside the Department of English and Comparative Literature.

Foreign language departments include Asian Studies, Classics, Germanic and Slavic Languages, Romance Studies.

At least one course should be focused on literature written in the original language.

The film studies concentration focuses on the history, theory, analysis, and politics of cinema in a global context. Students become conversant with the evolution of film genres, styles, and traditions, while exploring relationships between film and other artistic forms, including literature, painting, photography, television, and digital video. This concentration enables students to gain skills of audiovisual literacy that are necessary for navigating the many screens of our modern world.

Students pursuing the film studies concentration do not follow the core requirements described above. Instead, students must complete the following requirements (10 courses):

Excluding  ENGL 100 , ENGL 105 , ENGL 105I , ENGL 110 , and ENGL 191 .

Special Opportunities in English and Comparative Literature

Honors in english and comparative literature.

The department offers at least two honors seminars each semester. In addition, students seeking a degree with honors in English and Comparative Literature (a 3.3 cumulative grade point average and a 3.6 grade point average in major courses required) undertake a year-long independent project during their senior year ( ENGL 691H  and  ENGL 692H  or  CMPL 691H  and  CMPL 692H ) and usually produce a 40- to 70-page thesis under the direction of a faculty member. Students pursuing a degree with honors normally meet every week with the professors supervising their projects. This opportunity for individually directed research and writing often proves to be a high point of the student’s academic career. 

Honors in Creative Writing

See “ Creative Writing Minor ."

• Study Abroad

Some of the best programs offered at the University for study overseas are especially appropriate and useful to majors in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. These include semester or year-long programs at Bristol, Manchester, Sussex, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and certain Australian universities. Students who have a minimum grade point average of 3.3 at the end of their sophomore year can participate in the King’s College Exchange Program at King’s College, London (representing either English or comparative literature). Special opportunities are also available at Oxford University and through the Joint Degree Program with the National University of Singapore. Comparative literature students most frequently travel to non-English-speaking destinations. For information on all overseas programs, see the Study Abroad Office.

Internship Program

Internships are a great way to explore career options before graduation. A major in English and comparative literature, with its focus on writing, oral communication, and research, opens the door to a wide variety of career paths. The Department of English and Comparative Literature provides the opportunity for students to receive credit for an internship that relates to the major.
