ASJA 2026 Conference scholarship application

ASJA is committed to being a diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive organization. We welcome all nonfiction writers regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, neurodiversity, cultural and religious beliefs, health, level of education, body size, family status, wealth, citizenship status, experience with trauma, and other dimensions of identity—at all membership levels and in all leadership roles. Moreover, ASJA is committed to ensuring that our conferences are affordable for writers from all backgrounds, including those who are most underrepresented in our society. To that end, we are offering a number of scholarships to attend the 2026 ASJA Conference, to be held virtually April 20-22, 2026 (details here). We ask applicants to submit an application for review by the ASJA scholarship committee.

Scholarships cover the cost of conference registration only. Applications are due by February 20, 2026, at 11:59 pm; recipients will be notified on March 20.
