Scholarships
Ensuring art is accessible to everyone.
We believe that art education is a fundamental right— that’s why we’re dedicated to offering educational opportunities to aspiring artists and increasing access to our programs for anyone who wants to explore them, regardless of financial means. Applications for scholarships are always encouraged.
Adult Scholarships
The Peninsula School of Art Scholarship Fund supports the on-going artistic development of full-time college and university students, as well as professional art educators. The scholarship covers up to 80% of the tuition expenses for any Peninsula School of Art workshop. Housing and food are the responsibility of the student.
Application Information
There are a limited number of scholarship spaces available in each workshop, so please indicate your first, second, and third workshop choices on your application. If you wish to take a specific workshop whether or not you receive a scholarship, we encourage you to register for the workshop in addition to submitting a written scholarship application. If awarded a scholarship, you account will be credited for the amount of the scholarship. However, you will be required to pay the full tuition at the time of registration and you will be assessed a cancellation fee if you cancel.
