Penland School of Craft Scholarships

Penland School of Craft Scholarships

Penland’s scholarship program exists to make our workshops accessible to those who are not able to participate without financial assistance and to create educational opportunities for people who have been underrepresented at Penland and in the craft world. Scholarships are one way we are pushing back on historic imbalances and barriers. Every year, roughly 50 percent of Penland students attend with some form of financial assistance, including scholarships and tuition discounts.

Penland scholarships are funded by auctions of student and instructor work, annual giving, targeted foundation requests, and endowments that provide a permanent source of scholarship support.

Applying for a scholarship? The application process will guide you though questions to determine your eligibility for scholarships. It is not necessary to research Penland’s extensive list of scholarships.
