Who Can Apply?

These scholarships aim to make The Krenov School’s Summer Workshops accessible to those who may not otherwise be able to participate without financial assistance. One scholarship is available to any student. Two scholarships are reserved for people of color who have been historically underrepresented at The Krenov School. This includes those who are:
- Black / African / African American

How to Apply

Applications accepted until March 31, 2026.

Scholarships will be announced by Monday, April 6, 2026.

Once the scholarships have been awarded, awardees must register in the summer class independently and promptly when priority registration opens on Monday, April 13th, 2026. Please visit The Krenov School Summer Workshop Registration page for detailed information about registering. Because of The Krenov School’s unique structure under the umbrella of the Mendocino Community College system, registration is on a first-come first-serve basis. The Krenov Foundation Scholarship does not ensure a place in the summer class. If you miss the registration window, the scholarship will be awarded to the next qualified applicant registered in the class.
