Full and partial scholarships are available for the workshop fee for students who find the fee cost prohibitive.

In addition to small group workshops: students draw inspiration from field trips, creative activities, and presentations; each week students explore a different genre such as poetry, fiction, memoir, magazine production, etc.; students draft, critique, and revise complete original works weekly; student work is published in the The Writers’ Block, a yearly anthology; and students can get a head start on college through the workshop — one hour of elective credit is available for $357.
