Thanks to generous donors and partners, we have a broad array of scholarships and financial aid options available to artists interested in Pilchuck’s programming. Scholarship applications are reviewed by a jury of arts professionals. A new jury is invited every year.
The scholarship application is included in the workshop application. Click below to begin your Pilchuck journey.
Pilchuck provides financial aid to nearly 70 percent of its students through the generosity of donors, foundations, and student auctions and continues to expand the number of full and partial scholarships it offers to support diverse and talented individuals.
Artists who work in all media are encouraged to apply. You do not need to have images of work in glass to be considered for a scholarship.
Scholarship applicants are scored and ranked based on artistic merit by an outside jury of arts professionals. Consideration may also be given for financial need. All scholarship applicants qualify for general scholarships; applicants may also qualify for a special scholarship.

Each Partner Institution below is invited to select a member or student to receive a partial scholarship to Pilchuck. If you are chosen for a Partner Scholarship by your institution, please include the name of your partner institution in your application.
Pilchuck offers need-based financial aid to help artists not selected in the merit process and to help bridge the financial gap. We highly recommend that students in need of financial aid fill out both the merit and need-based portions of the application so we can do our best to meet your need.
When completing the need-based financial aid portion, please indicate the amount of tuition you can pay for a workshop and submit a statement of need. While Pilchuck will continue to consider requests for need-based financial aid after the merit scholarship and priority placement application, we encourage you to apply early, as it will be on a first-come, first-served basis for applications received after the priority due date.
