Scholarships

The Claryce Burt Scholarship Fund enables you to receive a scholarship if you are an active Writers Exchange member during the year prior to a workshop. You may receive up to $50 in a 12-month period to attend workshops, seminars, and other writing events. This workshop is a qualifying event.

Scholarship funds are not based on financial need. All you need to do is pick up a scholarship application at the workshop. Fees are reimbursed after the fact. Some reciprocal service to the organization is requested. If you've used part of your $50 for this year, the remainder is still available.
