Scholarships
One seat in each class is set aside for children who would otherwise lack the resources to participate in the Museum's summer courses program. Scholarships covering 100% of tuition are available for families receiving public assistance (TANF, general assistance, WIC, Medicaid or medical assistance, SSI, food stamps, Section 8 housing, free or reduced Lunch). Scholarships for 50 - 85% are available for other families needing assistance. These awards are based on need and availability of funds.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Scholarships are given out until all the funds for the season are gone and are based on class availability. To apply, please download the application below and follow the instructions. No phone calls, please.
We are no longer accepting scholarship applications at this time.
