In March 2006, a few weeks after the death of noted author Octavia E Butler, The Carl Brandon Society announced the creation of a scholarship in her honor to enable SF writers of color to attend one of the Clarion writer worskhops.
"The Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship will enable writers of color to attend one of the Clarion writing workshops, where Octavia got her start. It is meant to cement Octavia's legacy by providing the same experience/opportunity that Octavia had to future generations of new writers of color. In addition to her stint as a student at the original Clarion Writers Workshop in Pennsylvania in 1970, Octavia taught several times for Clarion West in Seattle, Washington, and Clarion in East Lansing, Michigan, giving generously of her time to a cause she believed in."
