For students starting the program in September 2022 or January 2023, the Manchester Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University is accepting applications for the Joyce Nield Scholarship in 2022/2023.

A student from a non-UK Commonwealth nation will be eligible for the award, which will cover the cost of an MFA or MA in Creative Writing.

The Literatures of the Commonwealth Festival, which was held at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2002, was co-directed by Joyce Nield and Michael Schmidt. Scholarships for students from the Commonwealth studying at the Manchester Writing School were established as a lasting legacy of the festival in honor of James Joyce.
