Workshop Scholarship Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in attending a straw bale workshop with us!  We understand that sometimes money can be the principal factor that prevents someone from attending our workshops, so we want to give people the opportunity to attend.

We give a limited number of full and partial scholarships each year to candidates we feel will make the most out of the opportunity. Details below:

• Scholarship applications must be received no later than 30 days from the workshop start date.

• We will notify the scholarship winner at least 15 days before the workshop starts.

• Full scholarships include meals for scholarship winners. For partial scholarships, we ask that you provide $100 towards the Food Contribution. (This passes 100% through to the Host of the workshop.)

• Camping and toilet/shower facilities on site are included. The scholarship winner is responsible for all travel costs or optional lodging. (Ride sharing may be possible; please include a note on where you are coming from if you'd like more information on this in your application.)

• If you receive a Scholarship, we request a written summary of your experience within 30 days after the workshop. 500-1,200 words where you share a few of the things you learned, what you would recommend to others thinking about building with bales/attending a workshop, or something you enjoyed. We are open to video if that is easier for you. The goal is to help us understand what value we provided you, get ideas about improving future workshops, and possibly share some of your summaries on strawbale.com to help others understand what a workshop will provide them. If you have any questions about this, email us at info@strawbale.com

If you are interested in applying for a scholarship, please complete your application below.

We look forward to reading your application and hope to meet you at a workshop soon!
