Writing Barn Scholarships

The Writing Barn has a small but budding scholarship program available for our programming.

Please note scholarships are awarded on the following criteria:

  • Seriousness of purpose: A brief questionnaire asks about the time and effort you devote to your craft.
  • Talent: A writing sample speaks to your talent.
  • Financial need: As a follow-up to the initial application, we may be in contact asking for details about your financial need.
  • We also offer specific Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity scholarships for B.I.P.O.C, LGBTQIA+, Neurodiverse writers, and writers with disabilities.

If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please fill out the following application. Please note full and partial scholarships may be available.

Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis and those being awarded scholarships will be notified as soon as possible. If you have any other questions please email info@thewritingbarn.com.
