The Scholarship from Hell is the only scholarship offered by the Horror Writers Association (HWA) that puts the recipient right into the intensive, hands-on workshop environment of Horror University, which takes place during StokerCon®.
The StokerCon®2025 Committee Chairs read numerous submissions and this year’s recipient is S.E. Clark!

S.E. Clark is a writer, artist, and college professor from Boston, MA, who explores the tension between the mundane and the macabre in her prose and art. Her short stories have appeared in publications such as Weird Horror and Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet, and more of her work may be found at www.aprilarium.com. When not writing, she may be found looking for names in old graveyards and battling rabbits over her flowerbeds (currently, the rabbits are winning).
