Scholarship Funds

Your annual gifts to Penland help keep tuition affordable for many students and Penland's classes accessible to a diverse student population by providing ongoing support for the work-study scholarship program. In addition, direct scholarship gifts, made either as an annual donation or as an endowment contribution to create a scholarship in perpetuity, support individual students, further expanding access to classes and studios and assuring a diverse student population. Penland offers a variety of scholarship donation opportunities that provide work-study or full scholarships each year.
