Kelly Writers House 2019 Summer Workshop for Young Writers, a 10-day residential program for rising high school juniors and seniors will take place July 7-17, http://writing. upenn.edu/wh/summer/

This is an opportunity for promising high school writers from diverse backgrounds to learn from Penn’s faculty and staff as well as their fellow participants at the Kelly Writers House. Participants will live in one of Penn’s College Houses throughout the program and will have opportunities to explore Penn and Philadelphia when they’re not writing and reading. 

The program offers financial assistance in the form of full- and half-tuition grants to a number of participants, thanks to the generosity of longtime friend of the Kelly Writers House, Maury Povich (C’62).

Because of their commitment to keeping the class sizes small and the limitations of the intimate space, KWH will only be able to accommodate a small number of qualified candidates. The application is now open and is due March 3. 

Please note that admission, or lack thereof, to this program will have no direct impact on a student’s chances for eventual admission to Penn. More information about the Summer Workshop and access to the application is available online.
