Reduced Fee Scholarship Application
Thank you for your interest in joining our community! We are offering a limited number of reduced fee scholarships for our online classes. In this way, we hope to make our offerings accessible to more people and to counterbalance economic injustice. This will allow participants to pay a reduced fee (€155 for our five-week classes, €360 for 10-week classes) and are reserved for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ who otherwise would be unable to attend due to financial hardship.
You may qualify for financial hardship if you have significant debt, have significant medical expenses not covered by insurance, have educational expenses, or receive public assistance.
You may not qualify for financial hardship if you own the home you live in; have investments, retirement accounts or inherited wealth; travel recreationally; have access to family resources in times of need; have received funding (e.g., from an employer or a grant) for continuing education; or work part-time (or not at all) by choice.
We ask you to assess yourself sincerely. We are a small organisation with no outside funding and, like many, we are also in survival mode. We depend on tuition fees for reimbursing class instructors, space fees, and operational costs, so we appreciate everyone reading the guidelines above carefully before deciding if you qualify for a reduced fee scholarship. We greatly appreciate your consideration! <3
