Prioritizing Affordability

Rumriver Art Center prioritizes to make art classes available to everyone, no matter what their situation may be. We have run out of our scholarships funds for 2025. You can apply for a scholarship for a class that takes place in 2026!

Guidelines by the RRAC Board of Directors

After carefully reviewing current obstacles and considering our mission statement, the board has come up with the following structure to use as a guide for granting partial scholarships:
* 1 scholarship per person per quarter may be awarded: Q1 (January – March), Q2 (April – June), Q3 (July – September), Q4 (October – December)
* Once being notified of scholarship acceptance, you must register for your requested class within 2 weeks. After that point, the scholarship will become invalid and you will need to apply again if you want to pursue a scholarship.
* Partial scholarships are given out based on a variety of factors, primarily financial need. Partial scholarships (in the amount of up to 50% of the class cost) are available for classes only. We are not able to provide scholarships for class materials.
* We do not give out general scholarship funds. In order for us to review your scholarship application, you must be requesting a scholarship for a specific class.
