This unprecedented program for student writers—funded at roughly the same level as the University’s prestigious Morehead Scholarship—provides a full scholarship to one incoming freshman each year for four years, beginning in fall 2002. The scholarship is not limited to fiction writers: applications are welcomed from student poets, playwrights, fiction writers and journalists across the country, and each Wolfe Scholar will be a young writer who shows extraordinary promise. The scholarship was endowed by Frank Borden Hanes Sr. ’42 to honor Wolfe ‘20—who as a UNC student edited The Tar Heel and wrote and starred in “The Return of Buck Gavin” (one of the first productions of Playmakers Repertory Company), later remembering Chapel Hill fondly in his classic 1929 novel Look Homeward, Angel—and to support the creative writing program.
