Reasons to Give
Your experience at the Bennington Writing Seminars was no doubt transformative and deeply personal (some describe it as magical). Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to the Writing Seminars so other students can experience that same magic.
Each term we award scholarships to incoming students based on a combination of merit and need. Your gifts ensure others will have a similarly transformative experience. All funds are raised from alumni and your generosity demonstrates the collaboration and support that defines the Writing Seminars.
Your gift goes directly toward scholarships.
The Writing Seminars Alumni Fund is used to fund all scholarships, but if you'd like to designate your gift to a specific area of need, here are three important ways to do so:
-
Scholarships for Poets—A gift of any size will help us attract the best poets to Bennington.
-
Diversity Scholarship Fund—Scholarships for writers whose voices have been traditionally marginalized, including renewal of the PEN Emerging Voices Scholarship.
-
Writing Seminars Alumni Fund—Supports scholarships across the genres.
Your gift today has immediate impact. You may designate your gift via the drop down menu. Please join us in giving generously.
