Application FAQs

Please read carefully before submitting your application.
Q: What programs can I apply for with this application?

A: Applicants can select a summer camp, six week class, or workshop.* *Studio+ hours and 21+ workshops are excluded.
Q: What costs do scholarships cover?

A: Scholarships cover class enrollment fees only. Please inquire if you need additional assistance for class supplies and materials.
Q: How do I apply?

A: Simply complete the form section of this application and submit it online, or print and return it to the Fitton Center by the dates listed!
Q: If I complete this packet and turn it in on-time, am I guaranteed a scholarship?

A: Scholarships are not guaranteed and are awarded on available funds and the discretion of the Fitton Center for Creative Arts
Q: How will I be notified if my application has been accepted, should I call to check?

A: Don't worry about calling to check-on the status of your applications! When applicants have been approved we'll mail an official acceptance letter and follow-up using your preferred method of communication (you will indicate your preference within the form.) Refer to the next page for our application processing/notification timeline.
Q: I received a class scholarship, but it wasn’t my first choice. How come?

A: We do our very best to place applicants in one of their top three choices. Scholarships cannot be awarded for classes with full enrollment or classes that have been cancelled due to inadequate enrollment. In the event none of your selected choices are available, we will contact you; however, we cannot always guarantee an alternative placement.
Q: Are there any reasons I might not qualify for a scholarship?

A: Students who have received a scholarship in the past but failed to regularly attend class or stopped attending without notice will not be eligible for future scholarships. In emergency situations, please notify our Director of Education in order to be considered for future scholarships. Students who have received a scholarship in the past and attended class regularly will be eligible to reapply one year from their most recently approved application date (see Q/A below for more details.)
Q: I received a scholarship in the past, am I eligible for another?

A: Due to the high volume of applicants and limited funding, scholarships are limited. Applicants are eligible for one class/workshop and one camp scholarship each year. Scholarship recipients will be eligible to reapply one year after their initial application date (e.g. Winter 2022 recipients are eligible to reapply Winter 2023, Spring 2022 recipients are eligible Spring 2023.)
Q: I have more questions!?

A: For questions regarding the Fitton Center’s Education Scholarship Program, please contact our Education & Community Experience Coordinator at caroline@fittoncenter.org (recommended) or 513-863-8873 ext. 136.
