Open World Scholarship Application

Open World Scholarship Application
Open World believes that all children should have access to fun, hands-on, high quality experiences in STEAM fields of the future. Our scholarship program provides greater access to our summer workshops for campers who would not otherwise have the financial means to attend.

If paying for camp would be a financial hardship for your family, we invite and encourage you to complete this scholarship application.
Awards

Scholarships are awarded at a discount of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of your camper's workshop tuition. Awards are determined at the discretion of the scholarship committee and by the amount of funding available. Since funds are limited, scholarship awards are limited to one workshop per camper, per year. The scholarship application closes on April 1 and families will be notified of awards by April 15.
Eligibility Requirements
- Camper must be 6-18 years old at the time of the workshop
- A separate application must be completed for each camper, including those in the same household
- Multi-camper families may submit one set of supporting financial documentation
All scholarship applications are considered, but priority is given to families who meet some or all of the following criteria:
