COST:
The cost of the 2009 Iowa Young Writers' Studio is $1,550. This program fee
includes room and board, all instruction fees, textbooks, photocopying, and
transportation to and from the Cedar Rapids airport or Iowa City bus station.
Once a student is accepted into the Studio they must pay a $200 deposit to
reserve their position. The balance of the fee is due June 1. There is no
cost to apply!
Q & A:
WHAT GRADE MUST I FINISH BEFORE I ATTEND THE STUDIO? The Studio is open to students who will have completed 10th, 11th, or 12th grade by June 2009. In rare cases we will admit an exceptionally talented and mature 9th grader.
IS FINANCIAL AID AVAILABLE? Yes, there is a limited amount of aid available. Financial aid applications are included in our acceptance packets.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL MY REGISTRATION? If a student cancels before June 1, the Studio will refund all but $50 of the deposit. If a student cancels after June 1 the Studio will refund all but the $200 deposit. There will be no refund of tuition after arrival date and no refund in the event of early dismissal.
CAN
I COMMUTE? The Young Writers' Studio is a residential
program. Local students must live in the residence hall for the entire program.
Classes and other scheduled activities are only part of the Studio; living
with other writers is integral to the learning that goes on here.
