Class & camp Scholarships

We are proud to offer financial aid through our generous scholarship program and you are invited to apply! In an effort to keep classes and camps affordable to all, full and partial scholarships are made easily accessible to families throughout the region. The Arts Center staff is happy to assist families in whatever way we can and, while the funding is needs-based, you may be surprised by our requirements. For instance, did you know that a family of four with a household income of roughly $50,000 is eligible to receive a full scholarship to any of our summer camp programs? We also offer partial scholarships on a case-by-case basis. No matter your situation, we’re here to help!

How do I apply?
It’s easy; families who are interested in applying can apply through our online scholarship application form located below. Each family will answer a brief set of questions and select their classes or camps of choice.

How do I apply if I don’t have regular access to a computer or internet?
No internet, no problem. You can apply directly over the phone and the Arts Center staff can fill out the application for you. Interested families will be asked the scholarship questions below via phone and process your scholarship if you qualify and funds are available.
