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.
We encourage you to consider hosting an event this year. Any and all events that benefit members of MAWCA will be considered. We budget a total of $1,500 each year for regional events. Please indicate the amount you need to host your event. For example, $250 to $500 might be reasonable to host a regional meeting to cover the expense of food and materials. Or $100 might be reasonable to host a social. Funds are disbursed on a refund basis.
If awarded, please submit a 1-2 page report that can be used on MAWCA's webpage and social media.
This would include a description of your event, a list of participants, photos with captions (if you can but be sure to secure permission prior to submitting), and any other appropriate information.Grant and scholarship recipients must be members in good standing at the time of application.
