Support the HRSFANS Summer SciFi Grants
The HRSFANS Summer SciFi Grants offer HRSFANS members the opportunity to promote speculative fiction and gaming at Harvard. By contributing to the HRSFANS Summer SciFi Fund, you can help make it possible for Harvard undergraduates to develop competence in writing and game design and to gain exposure to the writing, publishing, and gaming industries. These opportunities are contingent upon the generous financial support of the HRSFANS community.
To make a donation by check, address the check to HRSFANS. The memo line should read "writing grant", "industry grant", or "HRSFANS grant program", depending upon whether you'd like your money to go to only the writing grant, only the industry grant, or either. Checks should be sent to:
Kevin Gold
110 Central St. Apt 11
Wellesley, MA 02482
Or donate via PayPal:
Nota Bene: Paypal will appropriate a small percentage of your donation in exchange for its services. By presenting your donation in the form of a check, you can ensure that HRSFANS receives the full donation.
