The Mid-Atlantic Writing Centers Association (MAWCA) returns dues and registration fees from our annual conference to its members in the form of grants and scholarships that promote professional development and writing center research in our region. We strive to distribute funds widely across the membership and to prioritize members in need.
This funding opportunity is broadly construed as supporting writing center programs. It’s no secret that writing centers often lack sufficient funding. Funding may be used to:
*Purchase materials to be used for training.
*Make one-time purchases of technology/equipment that will directly enhance the work of the center.
*Seed money to develop a research project.
*Hold workshops/events.
*Enable collaboration with the local community on writing related projects.
Grant and scholarship recipients must be members in good standing at the time of application.
