AAB Rolling Tuition Assistance Application

TUITION ASSISTANCE: General Information

The American Academy of Bookbinding (AAB) is dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for students at every level. We strive to remove financial barriers so all learners can pursue their artistic goals.

Tuition Assistance and Scholarships are generously supported in part by the Lang Ingalls Fund for the American Academy of Bookbinding, Myssie and Barry Acomb, and the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation.

 

Rolling Tuition Assistance Award

AAB believes that everyone should have access to high-quality bookbinding education. We know financial need is not always reflected in paperwork or traditional criteria, so we do not require tax forms or family financial details. Instead, we ask applicants to share the personal value they see in taking a course.

If financial aid funds are not fully distributed during the initial review period, applications may remain open on a rolling basis for the remainder of the year.

Students will be notified of award decisions 2-3 weeks after application submission.

By accepting Tuition Assistance, students affirm their commitment to supporting artists and arts organizations like AAB. Recipients agree not to use Tuition Assistance if they have the financial means to pay independently. Award recipients also agree to complete a post-class survey.

Eligibility: New and returning students. Tuition Assistance may be used for multiple courses within the same calendar year.

Award Amount: Up to $1,200 Based on availability.

 

At the American Academy of Bookbinding, we understand that each individual may have competing financial needs that may not be reflected in a tax form. Therefore, we do not ask for this information; rather, we ask that you share the value of taking a class with us. Awardees agree to provide us with demographic information as well as participate in post-class surveys.
