AWP Conference Community Scholarship
The AWP Conference Community Scholarship aims to increase access to the annual conference and bookfair. While anyone may apply, AWP encourages those who identify as people of color, disabled, LGBTQIA+, and/or low-income to apply. Membership is not required to apply.
The AWP Conference Community Scholarship launched in 2021, and since then hundreds of writers have been able to attend the conference at no cost, or a significantly reduced cost. AWP is grateful to the generosity of donors who made these scholarships possible. Seventy-five percent of community scholarships will be awarded to local Kansas and Missouri residents.
