Writers @ Harriman is for high school students who like to write. Students entering eleventh or twelfth grade in the fall of 2012 are given priority. We welcome students who are younger or older by about one year, or who are in an educational program outside the public schools. About 40 young writers will be selected. The application process includes an essay of up to two pages telling about your writing and why you want to attend Writers @ Harriman. A panel will review the applications, with the option to conduct a telephone interview. The panel will be seeking students who demonstrate curiosity, an interest in writing, and potential for successful performance in this setting.

Cost: Tuition is $175, of which $25 is due with your application. The remaining $150 is payable upon acceptance. Scholarships are available, based upon need. Inquire at writersatharriman@yahoo.com or see the FAQ's.
