Each year, The Faber Academy awards free places on selected courses to writers who otherwise could not afford to attend. We're currently accepting applications for scholarship on some iterations of Writing a Novel, The Salon: Developing Your Poems, Writing Fiction, Writing Poems and Finish Your Draft. Deadlines from 9 January 2025.
Scholarships will be awarded to writers whose work shows significant promise but who would for financial reasons be unable to attend the course. We particularly welcome applications from writers of colour, disabled writers and LGBTQ+ writers.
