All scholarships pay 100% of registration fees toward either a Teen or Tween ticket (All Tween Scholarships for StoryCon 2026 have already been awarded). (Value up to $159). Applications must be accompanied by a 300-word essay written by the student about their goals for the future and how being a better writer will help them achieve those goals.
