The William H. Gunn Scholarship in Creative Writing

The William H. Gunn Scholarship in Creative Writing provides financial aid to graduate students enrolled in the Creative Writing program. The scholarship was established by William H. Gunn's mother, Louise A. Gunn, in memory of her son, the noted black independent film director, author, scenarist, and playwright. Gunn, a Philadelphia native, died in April 1989 at the age of 59. To the extent allowed by law, preference will be given to African American graduate students.
