Thank you for your interest in HVWC's programming and scholarship opportunities! 

Need-Based Scholarship applications for all classes January - June 2026 are due on December 15. Scholarship awards will be announced by January 1. Applicants for these scholarships must have financial need. Special consideration will be given to students who identify as being one or more of the following: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ women & non-binary students. All applicants must be over 18 years of age and have a current U.S. or U.S. territory resident address. These scholarships are awarded based on our funding and the passion of your application. Please tell us why you want to take the top three classes for which you are applying. Emerging writers in any genre are welcome. Please keep in mind that if you received a scholarship from HVWC in the last round, you might not receive funding this time but you should apply again next year. We want to award as many scholarships as possible but we cannot fund every applicant every round! Thank you for being a part of our community. We appreciate you and your work.
