Author Conservatory Scholarship
Every young writer needs someone to believe in their dreams, help them take the next step, and encourage them to find success.
The Author Conservatory offers this support system to aspiring writers, teaching them the artistic and business skills needed to get published while providing an affirming atmosphere that they may not find at other schools where creative degrees are often discouraged. The Author Conservatory takes a holistic approach, uplifting and educating students in all areas of life. While the program offers exceptional mentorship and career opportunities, it comes at a cost, which can be difficult for the average student to afford.
This scholarship seeks to support students who plan to study at the Author Conservatory so they can afford to enroll.
