SCHOLARSHIPS

Writespace offers three tiers of scholarships:
  • 50% scholarships are the most readily available and may be applied to any length of workshop.
  • 75% scholarships are available for those who demonstrate serious financial need and may be applied to any length of workshop.
  • 100% scholarships are of extremely limited availability and are currently only available for three-hour workshops. These scholarships are awarded based on financial need and writing ability as demonstrated in the application form.

For partial scholarships (50% & 75%), writers are eligible to receive one workshop scholarship per quarter. Writespace has four quarters per year (January through March, April through June, July through September, October through December), so writers can receive up to four partial scholarships per year.

For full (100%) scholarships, writers are only eligible to receive one workshop scholarship per calendar year (January - December). Applicants are welcome to reapply throughout the year until they receive an acceptance.


To apply, please fill out the scholarship application below, and we will inform you regarding the status of your application within a few days. Applicants who apply several weeks in advance for a scholarship for a specific workshop will be given priority.

If you don’t hear back from us within three weeks of submitting your application, please check your SPAM folder. If our response is not there, please contact us.

Payment Plans

In addition to our scholarship program, Writespace offers installment plans for workshop lasting six weeks or longer. If you would like to request a payment plan, please fill out this form. Writespace staff will respond within 1 - 3 days, so please request your plan as early as possible.
Writespace supports writers of all backgrounds, identities, and genres. We encourage applications from writers of traditionally underrepresented groups, such as groups differentiated according to gender, gender expression, sexuality, ethnic background, nationality, skin color, physical or neurological traits, social or economic background.
​The Writespace Scholarship Program is funded by individual contributions. If you would like to help us make more scholarships available, consider becoming a Quill Pen member or making a tax-deductible donation.
