Tuition Scholarships for College Students

DEADLINE: APRIL 1, 2011

Peters Valley will offer a limited number of half-tuition scholarships to college students.

These awards are for the summer 2011 workshop program only, and can not be carried over to any future programs.

The terms of these scholarships are as follows:

1. Scholarship recipients will receive ½ off of the workshop tuition for a single workshop. Based< upon availability, students will also receive a bed in our "Youth Hostel-Style dorm" at no charge. Meals will be the responsibility of the student and may be purchased from the PV Kitchen or prepared themselves in the dorm.
   
   
2. Scholarship recipients will need to work 2 hours per workshop day for Peters Valley. Jobs will consist of housekeeping, kitchen, and/or maintenance. The majority of this obligation can be completed the day before the workshop begins. This work will be supervised and students will be held accountable for their performance.
   
   
3. Lab fees and meals (if required) will be the responsibility of the student.
   
   
4. The awards are contingent upon the workshop running with the minimum number of paying students required. If an award is granted but the desired class is cancelled the scholarship recipient will be able to choose another available class that is running or receive a refund of any fees paid.

A panel of Peters Valley staff will choose the scholarship recipients.

The panel will review the applications and select those that reflect the strongest need and desire to further develop their skills and understanding of craft media.

The panel will take into consideration the applicant's experience and the contents of the letter of intent.

It is our hope that by taking a workshop at Peters Valley, the recipients will be inspired to grow creatively in their personal work and push themselves into new artistic territories.
