Writopia Lab is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates with limited resources, relying heavily on support from the community to sustain our programs--over 85% of our funding comes from the community in the form of tuition. Because we know there are families who cannot pay the full tuition, we have created a sliding scale for our tuition. While we don't require supporting documents to demonstrate your financial hardship, we do ask that families pay as much as they can afford to pay; this is what enables us to offer our workshops to families in more difficult financial situations.
Writopia Lab's fees cover the expenses of running a workshop program and allow us to provide generous scholarships and flexible sliding scale fees. We will not be able to offer honor-based sliding scale discounts to those in need if those who can afford the fee choose to pay a discounted amount. If you wish to support Writopia Lab, please make a donation to help families afford our services.
Applying for a Scholarship
We never turn away a family because of their inability to pay. Writopia Lab offers need-based scholarships to many students. If you require additional tuition assistance beyond the sliding scale, please send your latest tax returns and a brief statement of need to financialaid@writopialab.org.
