Lesley University Writers' Conference

Financial Assistance

Financial assistance funds are limited. It is not possible, therefore, to honor all requests for financial assistance. Priority is given to applicants with a demonstrated financial need and a willingness to make a serious commitment to a course. The Division of Continuing Education will review all requests, and students will be notified of the decision by phone or in writing.

• The amount of financial assistance will be in the form of a Julio Lobo scholarship.
• All requests for financial assistance are confidential.
• Scholarships may be considered taxable by the Internal Revenue Service. Refer to the IRS Publication 520, "Scholarships and Fellowships," or a tax advisor to determine how this affects individuals' situations.

To apply for financial assistance the following should be submitted in addition to the Writers' Conference application form and writing sample:

1. Financial Assistance Form [pdf]
2. Letter describing reasons for requesting assistance
3. Some evidence of need (e.g., tax return, work pay stub, other)
