This is an opportunity for 6th through 12th grade students from public and private schools all over Fairfield County to spend time on a college campus and to work on improving their writing.

Transportation will be available from Greenwich, Wilton, Newtown, Milford and points closer to Fairfield University. Deadline for applications is May 15th.
