YPS & HSS Scholarship Application

A limited amount of scholarships are available for Young People's Studios and High School Studios. Scholarships are need-based; no portfolio or experience is necessary to apply.

Application deadlines are:

September 1 for Fall classes
January 1 for Spring classes

A scholarship committee will review all applications and make decisions prior to the start of the semester. Scholarship awards cover a single class only, not Before or After Care during Summer Art Camp. If you are applying for more than one child, please complete one request form for each child.

All applications will be reviewed following the stated deadline. All scholarship decisions will be finalized and families will be notified via email within two weeks of the application deadline.

I certify that my student meets the eligibility requirements to receive a scholarship. I understand that submitting an application for scholarship does not guarantee that an award will be received. I understand that should my student be awarded, we may be asked for photographs of student art work or thank-you notes for donors. I understand that scholarship awards cover only a single class. For our Summer Art Camp, scholarship cannot be applied towards before or after care. If I choose an early or late 1-week session, I am responsible for paying the tuition balance before my registration is considered complete. *
