Scholarships
Village-Works expanded its mission in 2024 and has been giving the gift of writing via scholarships to Murphy Writing of Stockton University. 4 recipients will be awarded a scholarship each year, made in their name, to Murphy Writing of Stockton University. Each scholarship will allow a recipient the opportunity to hone their craft with a 5-week online writing workshop.
RENEE RASINGER
"I wasn't exactly blocked. Just wasn't motivated to write. This workshop really changed that for me. I'm writing freely and easily now. I seem to be doing everything a little easier. I think I was depressed before. Being gifted this workshop signaled a change in my luck and my self- worth. Thank you so much for sparking that change."
JASON R.
"The workshop was just what I needed. It gave me a new creative outlet and a chance to bounce ideas off other writers. Hearing different perspectives made a big difference in how I look at my own work. It was laid-back but still super helpful, and honestly, it was just fun to do something different. Definitely worth it."

"Village-Works allowed me to have the opportunity to take a class with Murphy Writing that I either couldn't afford or did not think I had the skills to take part in. This class allowed me to learn more about the craft of writing and begin to draft my own work. This class furthered my confidence to keep writing."
