Tuition Assistance

for ONE-ON-ONE TUTORING & COLLEGE COUNSELING

Ellipsis’s mission has always been to provide as much accessibility to creative writing mentorship as we possibly can, and that starts with maximizing our ability to work with students across socio-economic strata.

We have adopted the Common App's full list of financial need indicators when assessing financial need of new Ellipsis students. At this time, we are able to provide partial financial aid scholarships, but unfortunately not full financial aid scholarships.

Please see below for a full list of financial need indicators for our 2021 summer season and 2021-2022 academic year:

  • I have received or am eligible to receive an ACT or SAT testing fee waiver.

  • I am enrolled in or am eligible to participate in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch Program (FRPL).

  • My annual family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

  • I am enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., TRIO programs such as Upward Bound).

  • My family receives public assistance.

  • I live in federally subsidized public housing, a foster home or am homeless.

  • I am a ward of the state or an orphan.

Our approach to creative writing instruction moves through craft, close-reading, cultural conversation, and revision.

We begin with a review of your work as it currently stands. As your instructor develops an understanding of strengths and areas of opportunity, we will explore personalized assignments. Once we have identified and workshopped habits through close-reading of current work (and accompanying revisions), we will turn our attention to generating new work through personalized prompts, careful reading, disciplined drafting, and a nuanced approach to integrating craft.

Whether you’re a freshman or a fall-semester senior, our college advising approach begins with deconstruction.

There is rarely a true, conscious beginning to the college process. Before you can say “ready, set”, parents and students alike are already off to the races and waist-deep in worry. At Ellipsis, our path begins with you (the student/applicant). We’ll identify what exactly differentiates you from the thousands of other smart, ambitious students out there in the world, and use that as the foundation of our work.
