Limp Wrist Scholarship
| open to LGBT High School Juniors & Seniors |
I am proud to announce Limp Wrist's inaugural scholarship open to LGBT High School Juniors or Seniors via a poetry
contest. Even more exciting than the small scholarship is that the scholarship recipient wins a spot at the 2009 Juniper
Institute for Young Writers.

Dustin Brookshire, and the subject line must read "LW Sholarship" with the student's first and last name.
