Artisan Center Scholarships
Big news: our scholarship program just got a major upgrade.
To increase access to hands-on, arts-focused education in our community, we are expanding from two scholarships a year to seven scholarships annually, offered throughout the year instead of only once. No long waits. No single deadline. Just support when learners actually need it.
Every class date window now includes one scholarship opportunity. If selected, you’ll receive a discount code that brings your class cost to $0, so you can self-register and jump right in.
This change helps us remove financial barriers, welcome more learners into our studios, and make creative education accessible all year long.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At ºÚÁÏÉç, we believe everyone has worth. We are not limited to age, gender, social status, sexual orientation, and religion. We are unified in dignity and diversity. We believe everyone — no mater where they are in their personal and professional journeys — can dream big and rise above their current places. We believe everyone can soar higher. For special accommodations or questions about accessibility, contact Artisan.Center@nwtc.edu.

How Scholarship Registration Works
If awarded, recipients will receive a unique discount code that reduces their class registration cost to $0
The code may only be used for one approved class within the selected date window
Recipients must register themselves using the discount code so the college receives all required registration information
If a first-choice class is full or canceled, the code may be used for the approved second-choice class (must be within the same date window)
