Long-time RMC-SCBWI member Vickie Ferguson was trying to find the strength and time to get back to her writing right up to the time of her death in May 2005. She is a testament to the adage, “Never give up!”

Due to the generosity of her husband, Bob, her critique group and her many friends, the Rocky Mountain Chapter continues to provide scholarships to one or more writers and illustrators for the Fall Conference through the Vickie Ferguson Memorial Children’s Writer Fund.

APPLYING FOR A SCHOLARSHIP

Information about the scholarships--for RMC-SCBWI members only--will be available with the Fall Conference brochure each year.

DONATIONS

You may send your donation to:

Vickie Ferguson Memorial Fund
c/o Caroline Stutson
7288 S. Sundown Cir
Littleton, CO 80120

Please note that because the fund is not classified as a charity, your donation cannot be considered a charitable donation for tax purposes. Check with your accountant to see if it qualifies for any other deduction.

Thank you for keeping Vickie’s memory alive and for supporting writers of children’s literature.
