Scholarships
The purpose of the WWf(a)CF scholarship program is to reduce financial barriers that prevent women and girls from participating in the WWf(a)C community of writers, particularly as these barriers relate to race, culture, class and age.

Women are eligible to receive partial scholarships to Women Writing for (a) Change semester courses for up to a total of four semesters, based on the applicant’s financial need and her commitment to "being present" throughout the semester, including regular attendance. One-time scholarships are also available for WWFC retreat programs.

A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available to girls, teens and young women to attend our programs, based on the young writer’s financial need and her commitment to "being present" throughout the program, including regular attendance.

Read this moving letter written by a recent scholarship recipient.


This letter is in response to the letter of October 6, 2009, the scholarship award letter.  I wanted to be timely and all-inclusive in my response.  So, I waited.  In an attempt to best describe my experience and detail my appreciation for this opportunity, I tried to soak it all up.

I have discovered, there is plenty more soaking to do.  Every class has offered something different.  The large group experiences, the small group camaraderie, the greenbooks and the readbacks are tiny pieces in my puzzle.  When I signed up for the class, I had not written anything for several years.  In the beginning, the outpouring was like a waterfall.  I had to buy paper and notebooks to contain it all.  My writing has since tapered to a more manageable stream and sometimes it takes the class to jolt me back on track. 

I am more than grateful for the experience and value each class and individual who either shares her own work or lends an ear to mine.  Thank you for the rejuvenation and validation WWfaC brings.
