Need Based Scholarships
HatchSpace seeks to make our programs accessible to early career & ecomically disadvantaged individuals. We also acknowledge how women, LGBTQIA+ community members, and people of color have historically been underrepresented and undercelebrated in trade and craft careers. With this in mind, a limited number of need-based partial scholarships are available via the HatchSpace Scholarship Fund.
- Awards range in amounts up to 75%, though the highest level of awards will be most limited.
- We strongly encourage students seeking scholarship funds to apply no later than June 1, 2026.
- A $650 deposit is still required at time of registration to hold your seat in the program.
- Awards will be determined by June 20 for those who applied by June 1, and any remainder funds distributed on a rolling basis thereafter.
A note to Vermonters and those in neighboring counties:
HatchSpace intensives may be eligible for Vermont Advancement Grants and/or funds provided by the State of Vermont to support the career training of locals. If we believe you may be eligible for one of these programs, we may refer you to additional resources.
Economic Justice Sliding Scale
At HatchSpace we believe that the best person to make a determination about what an individual can reasonably afford is the person themselves, armed with insights that can help them make an informed determination.
With this in mind, HatchSpace utilizes an Economic Justice Sliding Scale to assist us in awarding varying levels of scholarship discounts from 10% to 75% off the listed tuition price.
