Scholarship Funds

Scholarships at Penland School of Craft

With help from a wide variety of sources, Penland has been able to provide programs of consistently high quality while keeping fees at a reasonable level. However, many talented and dedicated craft students are still unable to attend Penland without some kind of financial assistance. Scholarship assistance comes from scholarship auctions of student and instructor work, annual giving, and endowments that provide a permanent source of scholarship funds.
