As part of its promotion of literacy, Rim Country Chapter of Arizona Professional Writers sponsors a $1000 scholarship for a graduating high school senior – either home schooled or at a Rim Country school – or for a college student. Funds for the scholarship come from proceeds of the Arizona Professional Writers sale of the book, Skirting Traditions.

Eligible students must intend to study journalism, broadcasting, marketing, creative writing, or another area of the communication field at an Arizona college or university in the fall of 2022.
