Rural Sites Network Project
Celebrating Rural Poetry
The National Writing Project Rural Sites Network and the Rural School and Community Trust 
invited rural writing project sites to apply for the Celebrating Rural Poetry minigrant, and to participate in the public celebration of regional rural poetry written by high school students. The deadline to apply was January 11, 2006.
Minigrant awards in the amount of $3,000 each allowed eight writing project sites to make more visible the poetry of rural young adults and sponsor writing initiatives with a focus in diverse rural regions of the United States.
