Novelist and short-story writer Thomas Wolfe of Asheville, North Carolina matriculated at UNC in the fall of 1916 and graduated in the spring of 1920.  Wolfe loved Chapel Hill, which he celebrated as Pulpit Hill in Look Homeward, Angel, the novel he published to international acclaim in 1929: “The university was a charming, an unforgettable place. . . The central campus sloped back and up and over a broad area of rich turf, groved with magnificent ancient trees . . . the wilderness crept up to it like a beast.”

Wolfe had but one playwriting course to take. Students in our Creative Writing Program can now choose courses in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, stylistics, and songwriting. Courses in playwriting and screenwriting are also offered by the Departments of Dramatic Art and Communications Studies. With five semesters of credit, students can major or minor in Creative Writing. Ours is among the strongest undergraduate writing programs in the country.

Complete information about The Thomas Wolfe Scholarship, including the application form, is available on the University's website at https://englishcomplit.unc.edu/creative-writing/scholarships-and-awards/. If you have any questions, please email TWSqueries@unc.edu.
