Announcing the Jane Caruso Memorial Scholarship

Jane Caruso (1913-1989)

For the 2025 Conference (May 27-30), we are pleased to announce that Poetry by the Sea is sponsoring a special Jane Caruso Memorial Scholarship.  

Thanks to a donor’s generosity, we are able to offer a full scholarship to a poet-educator who would like to deepen their commitment to poetic craft. 

The scholarship recipient is entitled to full conference registration, including attendance at panels, readings, receptions, and the banquet; room and board (transportation and travel expenses not included); and participation in a three-day workshop of the recipient’s choice.

The eligible applicant will be a poet-educator (1) who is currently employed, part-time or full-time, at a community college, two-year or four-year college, or university, (2) whose total length of time teaching (as of May 27, 2025) does not exceed five years, and (3) who can commit to attending the entire four-day Conference.

We are excited to be contributing to education for young poets and to the poetry community generally through this scholarship. The application deadline is March 1, 2025. Please see the Jane Caruso Memorial  Scholarship page for information on how to apply.
