General scholarships are awarded for writerly promise and financial need. Scholarships are awarded for the specific class requested, and are not transferable to another class, term, or user. General scholarships may not be used for Muse and the Marketplace tuition or manuscript consulting.
You can apply for scholarships directly from the website page of the class you're interested in taking. Please visit our Find a Class page, and click on the class you're interested in taking. From there, you can click on Apply for Scholarship within that class page, and fill our out our short application. You can expect to hear back within two weeks of submitting your application.
NOTE: In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must complete your scholarship application and await our Scholarship Committee's decision before registering for the class. Scholarships cannot be applied retroactively. There are no fixed deadlines for scholarship applications, but please bear in mind that the further out from the start date of the class we receive your application, the more likely it is that we will be able to award you a scholarship. Scholarships are generally awarded between 1 and 2 weeks prior to the start of classes.
