Financial Assistance
The Porch is committed to making our programs accessible to all writers. If our class fees present a barrier to your participation, we encourage you to apply for assistance. Funding is limited, and we consider all applications as they come in. If you would like to share any additional context about your application, you are welcome to do so at your comfort level.
Porch Year Merit Award
We are able to offer 1 Merit Award seat in the 2027 Porch Year Fiction Cohort. If tuition is a barrier for you and you identify as someone from a low-income, rural, or marginalized background, we encourage you to apply. In the form, select "Porch Year Fiction Cohort" and answer the narrative questions about community, need, financial status, and project.
Merit Scholarship
The Porch is pleased to offer an annual Merit scholarship of $500, to be used for any of our classes. Scholarship funds must be used within the calendar year. Application includes writing sample and personal statement.
