Knowledge shouldn't be a privilege

Business education that actually serves marginalized creators only matters if marginalized creators can get to it. 

The Wicked Alliance  Scholarship exists because financial barriers and systemic exclusion often hit the same people hardest. If the cost of these courses stands between you and the tools you need to build something sustainable, we want to close that gap.

How It Works

Who is this for?

Scholarships are awarded on a sliding scale based on financial need and identity.

We prioritize applications from:

  • Queer and LGBTQIA+ creators
  • Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
  • Trans and nonbinary creators
  • Trafficking and exploitation survivors
  • Disabled and chronically ill creators

You do not need to prove your identity, nor do you do not need to justify your circumstances beyond what is asked. You will not be required to perform your trauma or your need to be considered worthy of support: you already are.

Why this exists

I was trafficked for eleven years, something I have been slow to share publicly (for obvious reasons). I'm sharing it because it is the reason this scholarship exists and because I think you deserve to know where this comes from.

One of the most consistent tools of exploitation is information scarcity. When you don't know your worth, your options, or your rights, when you don't have access to the knowledge that would help you build something independent and sustainable, you are easier to control. This is what happened to me.

Educated sex workers are harder to exploit. Creators who understand their business, their income systems, and their own leverage are harder to manipulate, harder to coerce, and harder to keep dependent on people and structures that don't serve them. That is not just a philosophy. It is lived. It is the thing I wish someone had handed me when I needed it most.

This scholarship is that: handed forward. To the creators who are earliest in their journey, most vulnerable to the same dynamics I survived, and most likely to be priced out of the education that could change the trajectory of what comes next. 

What does it cover?

Scholarships cover various levels of partial access (20% to 90%) on a sliding scale based on need. Every month, a proportional number of scholarship seats are made available based on that month's paid enrollments, meaning the more this community grows, the more access opens up for creators who need it most. This is offered in conjunction with the Autonomy Project's mutual aid program for marginalized folks.

Awards are determined on a case by case basis through a short application, reviewed on a rolling basis. 

A Note on Full Scholarships:

At this time, Wicked Alliance does not offer full tuition scholarships. This is a decision rooted in hard-won experience, not gatekeeping. Over the years, we've consistently seen that courses received at no cost went largely unused. That's not a judgment on the people who applied. It's a reflection of a real psychological dynamic that affects almost everyone: when we have no skin in the game, even the things we genuinely want have a way of slipping to the bottom of the pile.

Every unused scholarship seat is a seat that could have gone to someone who was ready to use it. That matters to us, because the goal here isn't to give access away. It's to make sure access actually changes something. 

A sliding scale contribution, even a small one, is an act of investment in yourself. And we believe you're worth investing in. If even our lowest tier is out of reach right now, please still apply and tell us that. We will do our best to work with you.

How does the application work?

Fill out the form below with your details. We will review each application and award discounted enrollments as the scholarship fund fills. 

You will receive a message when your application has been accepted OR if your application has been denied.

If you do not receive a message, your application may be on hold until more spaces open up. All applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Disqualifiers:
Scholarship seats are full for that month
Applicant has already received a Wicked Alliance scholarship within a set time period
Course applied for isn't currently available or open for enrollment
Applicant is not an adult content creator or does not intend to be
Application is incomplete or contains demonstrably false information
Financial need isn't demonstrated relative to other applicants that cycle — not "you don't qualify" but "someone needed it more this month"

I was accepted, now what?

You will receive an email with a coupon code to enroll in your course. Each coupon will be a percentage discount, and you will have 30 days to enroll in the course. After 30 days, the coupon will expire and you will need to apply again.
NO CORPORATE BULLSHIT

Community Rooted

The Wicked Alliance Access Scholarship operates in partnership with The Autonomy Project — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Alexandra herself, built from the ground up by and for the communities it serves. This collaboration means scholarship support can extend beyond course access into broader financial assistance for creators navigating hard seasons. This partnership exists because Alexandra built both of these things with the same intention: that no one should have to navigate this industry, or this world, without support. 

The Autonomy Project is a 501(c)(3) public charity providing resources, education, advocacy, and community connection for sex workers, LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities.

A note about survival SxW

These courses were designed for creators who have the time and space to implement what they're learning. Not unlimited time, not ideal circumstances, but enough breathing room to absorb a strategy and try it out.
These courses were designed for creators who have the time and space to implement what they're learning. Not unlimited time, not ideal circumstances, but enough breathing room to absorb a strategy and try it out.

Survival SxW doesn't always allow for that. When the pressure to make rent tonight is the loudest thing in the room, a course about long-term income systems isn't what you need, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. Selling you something that can't serve you right now isn't something we're willing to do. If that's where you are, you belong here too. Just differently, and for now.

Start with the free resources, available at no cost specifically because I know that building toward something sustainable requires a foundation and foundations take time to lay. You don't have to be ready for everything to be ready for something.
