OneCity Stories is a summer high school writing program in the St. Louis area for writers ages 14-17 (incoming freshman to incoming seniors). The program will take place June 13-July 1 from 9:00-3:00 each weekday and will be held on UMSL Campus. The cost of the three-week program is $450 with some need-based scholarships available. This program is designed for students with a passion and talent for writing, though no previous journalism experience is required. Returning applicants are encouraged to apply!

Applications for our 2022 session will open in October. You will be notified of your acceptance within a week of your application. Accepted students, who do not qualify for a scholarship, will then need to place a $100 non-refundable deposit to secure their spot in the program. We will continue to accept applications until May 27.

You and your guardian will receive a confirmation e-mail within 24 hours of successfully submitting your application. If you do not receive this email, please contact Diana Hammond at onecitystories.stl@gmail.com to ensure your application was received.
