Each year, St. Davids Christian Writers’ Conference sponsors partial and full-time scholarships to our conference. We want to give everyone an opportunity to attend and this is the way we achieve this goal.
If you are applying for a scholarship, fill out the form below and wait until the scholarship committee makes their decision before registering for conference.
Details
We know that times can be tough and everyone experiences times when they just can’t pay for the cost of a conference. But we also know that writers need connection to other writers. Therefore, we provide a limited number of scholarships every year. Please note, however, that you must attend the entire conference. Writer’s Colony conferees cannot be awarded scholarships and special retreats or paid critiques are not included in scholarship funds. Past year scholarship winners are ineligible for one during the following year.
Scholarship recipients are asked to assist in serving snacks, helping at the book table, or running small errands and filling in where volunteers are needed. This gives them an opportunity to network with both the faculty and other attendees. The Scholarship Committee will work with each recipient to match their skills with tasks, and we take into account any accessibility or mobility issues when we assign tasks.
Types of scholarships available
Full Scholarship
Full scholarships provide a conferee’s tuition plus room and board. There is no additional funds for transportation or additional items during the conference like purchase of books or other supplies.
Partial Scholarship
The partial scholarship helps pay for a conferee’s tuition fee only, not room and board. (If you are a commuter, you will still be responsible to pay for the meals portion of the conference fee.)
Kal Marque Scholarship
This is a full scholarship for ordained clergy in full-time ministry or their spouse or children.
