This year ECWCA is offering 8 travel scholarships. The scholarship is $250 to assist with registration, travel, room, and/or food. These funds are available for individuals who will be attending the 2026 ECWCA Conference at Wabash College in Indiana. The organization privileges applications by individuals who are presenting at the conference and who are from institutions or other organizations that have not previously been represented at the conference.
Please do not apply for a Travel Scholarship if your conference costs are already being covered by your writing center, or if you plan to attend only one day of the conference. Travel funds will be awarded at the conference. Recipients must be in attendance to receive funding from ECWCA.
