Financial Support and Discounts
We believe in making the Colgate Writers Conference accessible to all voices, especially to those in the surrounding areas and to those who face financial barriers. Thanks to our generous supporters, we can offer tuition support to nearly half of all participants. We encourage applicants to complete a scholarship application, requiring a statement of need and optional demographic information.
The financial support application will be available in January.
