Affording the Fellowship

Cost should never be the reason you don't apply

Need-based scholarships

Awards cover 25% to 100% of tuition, decided alongside admission. One in five fellows receives aid. Requesting aid has no effect on your admission decision.

Three-installment plan

Every family can split tuition into three monthly installments at no extra cost — no interest, no fees, no credit check. Selected at enrollment.

Withdraw in week one

If the fellowship isn't the right fit after your first mentor session, withdraw for a full refund. After week one, refunds are prorated through week four.

Questions

Tuition questions, answered

What does tuition actually pay for?

Your mentor's weekly time, the editorial board's review rounds, venue submission fees, and program operations. Mentors are paid for every session — that is most of the cost.

How do I request a scholarship?

Check one box on the application and answer two short questions about your family's circumstances. Decisions arrive with your admission result.

Is there a discount for applying to both tracks?

You can only hold one fellowship per term. Alumni returning for the other track in a later term receive $150 off tuition.

What happens if my paper isn't accepted anywhere?

The editorial board keeps working with you after the term ends — revision support continues until your paper has a decision from at least two venues, at no extra cost.
