Scholarships
Arrowmont offers several opportunities to enable students to attend workshops at reduced cost.
Individual scholarships provide partial or full coverage of workshop fees, room and housing. They are awarded to a student to take a specific workshop based on financial need and various criteria depending on the source of the funds. An application is required for each scholarship and is available to download using the link below. The application deadline for the 2010 workshop season is March 1, 2010. For more information about applying for a scholarship, please call 865-436-5860.
Friends of Arrowmont Scholarships are partial scholarships that cover 50% of the workshop fee, meals and dormitory housing for a one- or two-week workshop. These scholarships are intended to make Arrowmont’s programs available to the broadest population of students. Qualifications include financial need and a commitment to personal artistic goals. Skill in a particular medium is not required. Applicants must describe why they want to take a specific class, why the cost would be a hardship for them, why they would make a good candidate for a scholarship, and how they intend to use the experience to further their artistic goals. Friends of Arrowmont Scholarships are funded by gifts to the Friends of Arrowmont Annual Fund, Scholarship Auctions, the Margaret L. Gongaware Scholarship Fund, the Suzanne Hill Memorial Scholarship Fund, the Helen M. Russell Bequest, the Robert H. Skinner Bequest, and the Rude & Daphne Osolnik Scholarship Fund.
The Dr. Judith Temple Scholarship Fund provides full scholarships that cover 100% of the costs of attending a one- or two-week workshop at Arrowmont.
