Scholarships

Mudflat's Scholarship Funds are supported by the generous contributions from individuals and by revenues from our Open Studio Pottery Raffles. A limited number of scholarships for any adult class are available each semester to adult students needing financial assistance through the John McCooey Fund, established in memory of a long-time Mudflat student.

In 2004 Mudflat established a new scholarship fund to benefit children and their families. The Elee Koplow Scholarship Fund, in memory of this long-time Mudflat artist and teacher, provides financial assistance for children, teen, and parent & child classes.

The scholarships we offer each semester are for partial (up to 50%) tuition of a class or workshop. Therefore, for a $450 class we would give a maximum scholarship of $225.00 and $225.00 would need to be paid to Mudflat at registration for the balance of the tuition. Because Mudflat has a limited amount of money available for scholarships, we can only award a small number of scholarships each semester and students may only receive one scholarship each calendar year. Scholarship applications will be evaluated based on clearly demonstrated need, individual's commitment to clay, and scholarship history.

If you are in need of financial assistance so that you may attend one of our classes or workshops, please fill out the scholarship application form and return it to Mudflat. For more information , please contact the Director.

The scholarship application deadline for our Winter Semester is December 14, 2007.
