Scholarship Policy
Scholarships are available to people of all ages.
Teachers who recognize artistic ability and are aware of a financial need should recommend school aged students.
Scholarship recipients are responsible for their own transportation to and from class.
Partial scholarships will be awarded.
If the desired class is filled or canceled, the scholarship may be held until the following term, or another class of their choice becomes available.
Only one scholarship per year may be awarded to a student.
Review process:
Applications are reviewed by Artworks’ director of creative arts education and by the executive director.
Financial need is based on the Table of Income Eligibility Guidelines for Use in Schools provided by the Big Rapids Public School system.
Applications should be completed at least four weeks prior to the start of classes.
Applicants will be notified of the scholarship determination as soon as possible, but no later than two weeks prior to the first class. Scholarship recipients may be asked to provide a thank you letter to the scholarship donor if applicable.
