Scholarships and Transportation Assistance:
We believe in open access for all. If paying the full price creates a hardship for you or your family, and you need financial support to participate, please indicate how much you could afford to pay for this opportunity. The facilitating artists are all professionals who are being paid for their expertise, and this workshop, valued at $150 per person and $300 per family is being supported by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Central MN Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Be aware that we have limited funds for scholarships. There is no requirement that you explain why you need support. We trust that you will be honest in your self-assessment of actual need. By requesting only as much support as you need, you are contributing to the well-being of our community, enabling us to allow access to all the individuals and families who want to participate in this poem-to-song-jam workshop.
