Workshop Scholarship Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in attending a straw bale workshop with us! Â 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 one(1) scholarship spot away for each workshop to a candidate we feel will make the most out of the opportunity. Here are the details:
- Scholarship applications must be received no later than 30 days from the workshop start date.
- We will notify the scholarship winner at least 25 days before the workshop starts. For example, if a workshop starts on June 25th, we will notify you near June 1st.Â
- We pay for the food fee for scholarship winners. We do not pay for any travel or optional lodging expenses (camping onsite is included.) The scholarship winner is responsible for all travel costs but if one is coming from driving distance, we are happy to try to set up a ride-share situation with another participant.
- If you receive a Full Ride Scholarship, we request a written summary of your experience within 30 days after the workshop. For example, 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 sharing some of your share in a blog post to help others understand what a workshop will provide them. If you have any questions about this, email us at [email protected]
If you are interested in applying for a scholarship spot, please complete your application below.
We look forward to reading your application and hope to meet you at a workshop soon!
