We strongly encourage local fundraising and getting your community behind the young poets. Stipends will be based on demonstrated need of the group’s inability to travel to Brave New Voices without this funding, and will be made in amounts depending on your ability to raise local funds. Maximum amount for stipend will be $1,000. Once in Los Angeles, your lodging and most food will be taken care of.

If you wish to apply for a travel stipend, please write a short description of the group and why the stipend is needed. This will be confidential and read by the organizers only. Stipends are not guaranteed, and will be distributed based on the number of requests received
