All College Awards
The Colorado College Grants in Writing
(Annual awards may total up to $15,000)
[1] The Colorado College Grants in Writing are awarded each spring for distinguished, independent student writing projects. The award was established in 1981 by an anonymous graduate to enable CC students in any major to undertake creative and scholarly writing projects in the summer between their junior and senior years. The money that goes with it (to a limit of $3500) can be used for travel, relief from the necessity for a summer job, or other purposes. There are also single block awards (up to $1750).
[2] If you are a Colorado College junior, and expect to graduate next year, you may apply. If you have an idea or literary project that you really want to pursue, we hope to hear from you.
[3] Feel free to talk to members of the committee at any time between now and the deadline for application, which is the last Monday of Block 6. March 20, 2023 at 2:00 pm. (The winners will be announced at the end of Block 7.)
