WWTS Alumni Grants & Scholarships

To date, Writing With the Soul has funded over $40,000 in scholarships and writers grants. These funds include full scholarships to the WWTS workshop, trip scholarships, fundraising for young writers programs, grants to female-identifying writers with financial needs, and the Alumni Mentorship Program, which is fully funded by WWTS and offered free of cost to increase access for aspiring writers no matter their financial circumstance. A majority of these funds have gone to aspiring authors from underrepresented backgrounds. 

Alumni interested in contributing to the scholarship fund, can donate below.

Is this grant for you?

The Alumni Grant Program provides access to tools & resources writers need to complete their projects.

If you are experiencing a financial barrier which prevents you from achieving your writing goals, this grant is designed for you.

The vision for these grants is to cover the cost of unique needs within the alumni community, such as replacing a broken laptop, paying for childcare, booking a developmental edit, attending a workshop, etc.
