The Circle of Caring Scholarship Fund was established in the Fall of 2008 and is funded entirely by donations from individuals and community organizations who believe in the importance of art, and who want to share that with others.

Scholarship Awards fund one six-week class per person. These scholarships are intended to help adults who cannot otherwise afford to take a class. Scholarships cover the cost of a regular class or workshop (maximum value of $215) only and there is a stipend up to $50.00 to assist students with the materials required for the class. Please inquire about these costs before you apply.

Applications must be submitted three weeks prior to start of desired session.
