The Chicago Writers Association offers six full conference scholarships. It is our goal to provide inspiration, support and encouragement to writers of all ages, all skill levels, all ethnicities and all financial situations. 

PLEASE NOTE: If you are already registered for the conference you are still eligible to apply for a scholarship. Should you win, we will refund your registration fee.
Scholarships will cover registration fees only. Travel expenses are not part of the scholarship.
