We're thrilled to announce an exciting array of classes and workshops this summer—an exciting mix of writing-intensive generative poetry studios, lively workshops, and rigorous writing seminars.
Financial aid awards will be offered to cover the tuition cost of a course offered. The awards are valued anywhere from $100 to $150, according to recipient interest. Application is simple, and any community member is eligible to apply for need-based aid if they can attest to personal financial need. Selection is by lottery. The application deadline for financial aid is set for August 12 at 5:00 pm. Please spread the word to working writers for whom tuition would otherwise be a prohibitive financial strain!
