Apply to Jiménez-Porter Writers' House

Eligibility

Students from all majors and across all four years of study are eligible to apply (rising freshman to rising senior, and transfers). While preference is given to residential applicants, you are able to apply as a non-residential student, meaning you do not plan to live in Queen Anne’s Hall in your first year as a JPWH Student.

Application Process and Requirements

Begin your application. All applicants must submit an application form, unofficial transcript, statement of purpose, and writing sample by the deadlines below:

• Fall Admission: December 1 
• Spring Admission: May 1

Students must also complete and submit a Resident Life Housing contract and deposit for on-campus living to be considered for this program (see published deadlines at Resident Life).

Applications will be reviewed by a committee, and selection will be based on academic performance, the writing sample, and statement of purpose.
