About this grant
GENERAL LOW INCOME GRANT – RESIDENTIAL COURSES AND ONLINE WRITING WEEKS
If you are a UK resident and cannot afford the full course fee, we encourage you to apply for one of our grants, which are awarded on the basis of financial need – not writing ability.
You may apply for any amount up to the full course fee. To help us support as many people as possible, please apply only if you’d be unable to attend the course without a grant, and ask for the minimum amount you need. [...] "The advice I gained about my novel is invaluable, the support was wonderful…I cannot express my gratitude enough; I feel truly blessed to have received financial assistance for this. Having had a long term illness and been unable to earn for a very long time, I would never have been able to afford this otherwise. In about a month I shall be submitting my first novel to agents, this would not be the case without Arvon."
