Welcome to the online home of the Gordon Dickson Memorial Scholarship Fund

This scholarship fund is being established for three purposes:

To honor Gordy Dickson, local fan and science fiction and fantasy pro writer who died in 2001.
To collect money to send potential new writers to the Clarion Workshop for SF and fantasy writers or some other workshop. Gordy always encouraged new writers.
To promote accord in Twin Cities fandom by having a project that various fan clubs and individual fans can work on together.

To that end representatives from the general interest SF fan clubs Minn-Stf, FenSF, MISFITS, SF Minnesota, putting on Minicon, MarsCon, CONvergence, and Diversicon, respectively, the food oriented Minnesota Munchie Movement (CONsume/Relaxacon), plus individual fans, and the con chair of Valleycon in Fargo, ND, met at MarsCon in March, 2002 to discuss how to launch this fund.

Special interest fan clubs and individual fans are invited and encouraged to participate. We intend to meet every year at MarsCon for a general meeting. We will have our meeting as part of the Regional Fandom Roundtable program item on Saturday. Check your program guide for time and location.
