The Foundation charges no admission. Other areas of public poetry programming are still conducted outside of the new building. These include youth and children's poetry activities, public radio and television poetry programming, research in special interest areas of poetry and prizes and awards for excellence in poetry. Poetry Out Loud, a national program of poetry recitation in high schools completed its 9th year. Working with the National Endowment for the Arts, the Foundation's program encourages high school students to memorize and perform great poems helping students to master public speaking skills, build self-confidence, and learn about their literary heritage. The 2014/2015 program included over 365,000 students from across the country. The Foundation's programs offered through the media (TV, Radio and Print) reached over 16 million. Research activities in the area of digital poetry were added in 2013 and 2014. The Foundation continued its major prize and recognition programs including the Lilly Prize and expanded Lilly Rosenberg Fellowships.
