Scholarship Policy

The Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum is committed to providing access to our camp program for families in need. We consider students ages 7-12 for scholarships for our camps throughout the year. The scholarship award consists of 50-75% reduced tuition to our Winter Break Camp, Spring Break Camp and 2 Summer Camp sessions. Thanks to the underwriting of ABC Bank we are able to offer two types of scholarships:

Reserved Scholarship:

1 scholarship is reserved for applicants that submit an application 5 weeks prior to the start of camp.

Space available scholarships:

are given to students one week before camp starts based on availability in the camp. We reserve the right to offer more scholarships than space available on a first come, first serve basis. See deadline chart below. Parents are notified by phone confirming their spot.

Scholarships are based on the following criteria:

The student has an interest in visual arts.
A financial need for tuition assistance exists within the student's family
Completed application is turned in
Space and funding is available

Scholarship forms must be completed in their entirety or the application will be disqualified. Click here to download our scholarship application (PDF file -25 kb)and fax or mail it in.

SCHOLARSHIP GUIDELINES

Scholarship recipients are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp.
A parent, guardian or person designated by the parent/guardian is required to sign the child in and out every day. A guardian designated, by the parents must be 16 years or older.
Light Snacks will be provided at the mid-point of the morning camp.
All campers are required to fill out a registration form that includes a medical waiver and non-custodial release.
If you accept a scholarship offer, the scholarship recipient is not assured placement, nor registered for the class until co-payment is received (25-50% of full tuition). Please refer to our refund policy.
Scholarship recipients who do not attend camp regularly will be ineligible for future financial aid awards. If extenuating circumstances prevent regular attendance, please call us at 445-5582 ext. 101.
Parents/Guardians may not pay for a camp and then submit a financial aid request for the same camp.
The Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum is please to offer this opportunity to your child but, remember, there is no guarantee that a scholarship will be awarded to your child.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY

All students & families are required to adhere to our cancellation & refund policy.

Program attendance is the responsibility of the participant. Failure to attend a camp does not entitle participant to a transfer, make-up, prorate or refund. Registration fees are refundable only if the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum cancels the camp.
Registrations cancelled more than 10 days prior to the first day of camp will be issued a full refund minus a $10 processing fee. No refunds will be given for cancellations occurring less than 10 days before the workshop date. Program fees not refunded are put back into the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum education scholarship program.
Refunds over $10 will be made to the charging credit card account or in cash depending on how payment was made. We are unable to process refund checks under $10 at this time.
Parents, guardians and siblings (who have paid admission) are welcome to visit the garden while students are taking the workshop. We request they maintain a distance so as not to distract or inhibit the students during the act of creation.
