Individually Funded Scholarships

You can provide a single scholarship for tuition, housing, and meals with a gift of $1,600 for a weeklong class or $1,040 for a weekend class. You may name the scholarship after yourself or choose an honorific or memorial name. Scholarships may be designated to benefit students in a certain program area, e.g., woodturning or painting, or they may be unrestricted and contribute to the Folk School’s general scholarship fund. The scholarship is awarded as soon as a qualifying recipient is identified by the school’s scholarship committee.

Endowed Scholarships

Endowed scholarships are designed to help sustain and improve the school for current and future generations of students, and ensure the Folk School’s bright future in welcoming people for experiences in learning and community-life that spark self discovery. By establishing an endowed scholarship, your gift impacts students in perpetuity through a consistent, annual flow of funds. Scholarships may be designated to benefit students in a certain program area or be unrestricted, and be named after yourself or in honorific or memorial name. The scholarship is awarded as soon as a qualifying recipient is identified by the school’s scholarship committee, with annual award amounts determined by the Folk School’s spending policy.
