I know this may not be applicable for all, but, for those to whom it does apply: this is a grant application to the tune of $5,000. Previous awardees have not necessarily been published authors, but were writers or artists with children working on their craft (or trying to!). The award is to assist in childcare/living or whatever the heck you would need $5,000 for. The awards are offered as unrestricted cash, and recipients can use the funds as they see fit.
