To Write Art offers a limited number of scholarships each year across all three programs: Perception, Non-Human Art, and Art Intersections. Scholarships provide selected recipients with full twelve-month access to one program of their choosing at no cost, including all curriculum materials in digital PDF and hard copy format. Scholarships are awarded entirely at the sole discretion of To Write Art.

23.2 Eligibility and Award

A maximum of three scholarship places are available per program per year — nine places in total across the full trilogy. Places are limited. Submitting an application does not guarantee a place. Each applicant may apply for one program per year. Unsuccessful applicants are welcome to reapply in a subsequent year.

23.3 Selection

Recipients are selected based on the strength and sincerity of their application. Genuine interest in self-directed learning and creative curiosity are considered. Academic qualifications are not a requirement.

23.4 Application

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. There is no fixed deadline. Once available places for the year have been filled, applications will close until the following year. To Write Art reserves the right to close applications at any time once places are filled. To Write Art endeavours to respond to all applications within four weeks of receiving the required materials. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by email.

23.5 Program Access

Upon receipt of a signed Scholarship Acceptance Agreement, the recipient will be provided with a secure downloadable link to access their selected program and identical hard copy. Scholarship recipients receive the same program access as purchasing students.

23.6 No Obligations

Scholarship recipients are under no obligation to provide testimonials, reviews, written feedback, or public endorsements of any kind.

To Write Art will never contact the recipient for marketing purposes without their explicit consent.

23.7 Non-Transferability

Scholarships are awarded to the named recipient only and may not be transferred, gifted, or assigned to any other individual under any circumstances. Scholarships have no cash value.

23.8 Confidentiality and Intellectual Property

All program materials provided under the scholarship are strictly confidential. Scholarship recipients are bound by the same confidentiality and intellectual property obligations as purchasing students, as outlined in Sections 4 and 5 of these Terms. The scholarship grants the recipient a personal, non-transferable licence for individual use only. Nothing in the scholarship award transfers any ownership rights to the recipient.

23.9 Revocation

To Write Art reserves the right to revoke a scholarship and terminate access to program materials at any time in the event of a breach of the Scholarship Acceptance Agreement or these Terms, including but not limited to unauthorised reproduction or distribution of program materials. Upon revocation, the recipient must immediately cease all use of the program materials and delete all copies in their possession. No compensation will be provided upon revocation.

23.10 No Affiliation

To Write Art is an independent initiative. It is not affiliated with any government body, university, or institution, and receives no government funding. Scholarships are funded entirely by To Write Art.

24. ZOOM DISCUSSIONS

24.1 Optional Participation

Zoom discussions are an optional component of the To Write Art programs. Students may choose whether or not to participate in Zoom discussions. If a student does not feel comfortable participating in a live online discussion, they are not required to attend.

24.2 Age Requirement

Participation in Zoom discussions is restricted to students who are 18 years of age or older, or who have reached the applicable legal age of majority in their country or region, where that age is higher than 18.

Students who are under 18, or who have not reached the applicable legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, are not permitted to participate in To Write Art Zoom discussions. This restriction applies regardless of whether a parent or guardian has provided consent for the student to participate in the To Write Art program generally.

  • Students are responsible for providing accurate information regarding their age when registering for or joining a Zoom discussion.

  • Zoom discussions involve interaction between students, and participants may express opinions, interpretations, experiences, or comments that To Write Art does not endorse or agree with.

  • To Write Art is not responsible for the independent statements, opinions, interpretations, language, conduct, or behaviour of individual participants, except to the extent required by law.

  • To Write Art does not guarantee that all comments made by participants will align with the views, values, or educational approach of To Write Art.

  • Students are responsible for exercising their own judgement when engaging with comments or opinions expressed by other participants.

  • Nothing in this section limits any rights or protections that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.

24.6 Moderation and Removal from Meetings

To Write Art reserves the right to moderate Zoom discussions and take reasonable action where necessary to maintain a respectful and appropriate environment.

To Write Art may:

  • issue a warning to a participant;

  • ask a participant to stop a particular behaviour or comment;

  • mute a participant;

  • remove a participant from the Zoom meeting;

  • end a Zoom discussion early; or

  • restrict or terminate a participant's access to future Zoom discussions.

Such action may be taken where a participant engages in hate speech, harassment, abusive or threatening behaviour, discriminatory conduct, inappropriate language, disruptive behaviour, unlawful conduct, or any other conduct that To Write Art reasonably considers unsuitable for the discussion environment.

To Write Art is not required to provide advance notice before removing a participant where immediate action is considered necessary.

24.7 Privacy and Personal Information

  • Students should exercise care when sharing personal information during Zoom discussions.

  • Students must not disclose another participant's private, personal, or identifying information without that person's permission.

  • To Write Art will make reasonable efforts to provide scheduled Zoom discussions. However, access may be affected by technical problems, internet connectivity, Zoom outages, scheduling changes, or circumstances outside To Write Art's reasonable control.

  • To Write Art does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to every Zoom discussion and may reschedule or cancel a discussion where reasonably necessary.

  • Unless expressly authorised by To Write Art, students must not record, reproduce, publish, upload, distribute, or otherwise share any Zoom discussion, including video, audio, screenshots, chat messages, or other participant contributions.

  • Students must not use another participant's contribution, name, image, voice, or personal information outside the Zoom discussion without appropriate permission.

24.10 Acknowledgement of Live Discussion Environment

26.2 Program Ownership and Intellectual Property

  • Any agreed modification, adaptation, or use of To Write Art program materials must be expressly authorised in writing by To Write Art. Permission to use, distribute, or deliver program materials as part of a collaboration does not constitute a transfer of ownership or intellectual property rights.

  • Participation may involve creating an original artwork in response to a designated challenge, theme, question, concept, or set of creative instructions.

  • Any learning objectives, reflective exercises, suggested approaches, examples, or helpful hints provided by To Write Art are intended to support participants in developing their ideas. Unless expressly stated otherwise in the official rules for a particular Quest, these resources do not restrict a participant's independent creative interpretation.

  • To Write Art may request separate permission to use selected artwork, a participant's name, artist biography, photograph, interview, or written profile for promotional purposes.

27.30 Protection of Submitted Artwork

  • To Write Art will take reasonable steps to manage and protect submitted artwork in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.

  • However, public display on websites or social media may expose artwork to copying, screenshots, downloading, or redistribution by other internet users.
