Show me the money...

Seth Abramson, who blogs at The Suburban Ecstasies (his site) and on the MFA blog, has written a great round-up of MFA program funding for Poets & Writers magazine.

Today, the top candidates for the nation's most selective MFA programs can expect free tuition, free health insurance, and no student fees during the two to four years of their graduate study in addition to a generous stipend for living expenses—sometimes without having anything expected of them in return besides producing their best creative work.

The full story (titled "Show Me the Money") is here (and linked via his own blog posts...).

Poets & Writers also has an updated MFA Tool Kit with info on teaching assistantships, the application process, a listing of US programs and more.
