SCHOLARSHIPS

Through ArtCorps scholarships, the Tamalpa Institute provides training opportunities to worthy students from diverse backgrounds who have demonstrated a commitment to working in the areas of social justice and community service, as well as leaders from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds who are looking for creative and embodied approaches to tend to the needs of their communities. The ideal applicant will show a dedication to their field of interest through their work history. Personal experience with expressive arts and/or somatic practices is taken into consideration as well. Those who have experience working in community-service and social-justice arenas, those who come from traditionally underrepresented groups, and professional artists/dancers/performers, are eligible to apply if they are also able to demonstrate financial need. ArtCorps scholarship applicants are asked to commit to completing all 3 level of the Tamalpa Training Program.

The ArtCorps scholarship program, which is made possible by the generous donations of Tamalpa’s supporters, strives to provide several partial scholarships ($500 – $2000) for each Level 1 & Level 2 training program when funds are available.  Please be aware that we cannot guarantee funds will be available for every training program.

A note about Financial Assistance: The Institute does not provide loans to students and does not participate in federal or state financial aid programs. A student enrolled in an unaccredited institution is not eligible for federal financial aid programs.

If you have any questions about ArtCorps scholarships, please email here. Please note: Scholarship applicants must concurrently submit a full application to the training program.
