The Folk School awards a number of scholarships each year, providing partial or full financial support for a weeklong or weekend class. Our scholarship program helps those who would otherwise be unable to attend have joyous and enlivening learning experiences. Examples of recipients might be young people without deeper financial resources, people burdened by the weight of medical debt, or those challenged by a significant life event who need respite. The Folk School’s scholarship awards committee solicits and considers applications and awards scholarships based on specific scholarship agreements with each donor.
