The mission of the Writing Institute is to connect lifelong learners to the writing classes and the community they need to tell their stories. All writers are welcome here, and our scholarship program allows for greater access for writers of all backgrounds to participate in our classes. Scholarships are available for writers with financial need and/or writers from underrepresented backgrounds.
To apply for a partial or full scholarship, please see the scholarship application calendar below. We encourage interested writers to apply early. Writers who do not receive scholarships are welcome to apply in the next cycle. At this time, scholarships are only for our adult writing classes & workshops.
