Young Superstars Scholarship

The objective of the Young Superstars Scholarship is to bring youth into the future of publishing as early as reasonably possible for our organization, which is crucial to the growth of young creatives, to their future careers, and to the writing community as a whole.

In the event the recipient is not yet eighteen at the time of the conference, their parent or legal guardian will receive a free ticket to Superstars to parent or otherwise supervise the young writer.

Potential scholars will be required to fill out our standard application form.

Who is eligible to apply: High School seniors graduating in 2025 for the 2025 conference, and so on for the next conference years. Seniors must be planning to graduate the year they apply for a scholarship. Must be available to attend the conference.

Scholarship recipients will receive the following:

  • Paid registration to the next Superstars Writing Seminars Conference, including Intensive Skills Day
  • $50 per diem allowance (per day)


NOTE:
If a recipient is under 18, a parent or legal guardian may accompany the recipient into the meeting spaces. We will provide a visitor's badge for a parent or legal guardian. Badge grants access to conference floors and hallways, but not to classroom sessions or workshops.

This seminar can be a life-changing experience.

On behalf of the SSWS founders, faculty, staff and myself, thanks to everyone who contributed to our scholarship funds. Your generosity is paramount in helping us to offer education and networking opportunities to new writers. We appreciate your assistance in helping them get one step closer to their endeavors and dreams.

Director, Superstars Writing Seminars
