Financial aid

We are committed to making literary education accessible through competitive pricing and tuition relief for low-income individuals in the greater Philadelphia area. While we can’t always offer free classes or workshops, we do our best to strike a balance between accommodating our community’s needs, compensating our instructors fairly, and paying our small staff a living wage.

In most cases, students determined to be eligible for financial aid will receive 25-50% off listed tuition prices. When funding permits, we also offer full scholarships to low-income applicants living in the greater Philadelphia area — read through the application to learn more.

If you would like to support our financial aid program, please consider donating to Blue Stoop.

How to apply

The application is currently closed and will reopen when classes are open for registration. Subscribe to our newsletter for updates.

Stay cool

Philly writers deserve affordable learning opportunities. This summer, thanks to a partnership with Milk Jawn, everyone who is eligible for financial aid will be automatically entered into a raffle to win a $50 ice cream gift card.
