scholarship opportunities
Anderson Ranch is dedicated to offering opportunities to promising
artists and increasing access to our programs for a diverse group of
participants. Applications for scholarship support are encouraged.
Specific scholarships are funded by Ranch supporters, both individuals
and foundations, either through endowed funds or special gifts. We
are grateful for these important gifts. A complete list of supporters is
available in our Annual Report.
Applicants are encouraged to address the following points, since
scholarship applications are reviewed based on:
• Artistic merit
• Potential for artistic development through our programs
• Diversity including age, geographic location, ethnic background
• Financial need
Most scholarship awards cover part or all of the tuition; the studio fee,
registration fee, housing, meals, travel and supplies are the responsibility
of the participant.
There is targeted funding for graduating high school seniors, currentlyenrolled undergraduate and graduate students. You must check the
appropriate box on the online application form in order to be considered.
scholarship application procedure
Applications for adult scholarships must be submitted via our online
application at https://andersonranch.slideroom.com by February 20,
2015. When applying, please indicate three workshop choices, as well
as any housing preferences. There is a $10 fee to apply, and if you are
awarded a scholarship, you will be required to submit a $300 deposit to
accept your award. Applications are reviewed by a team of Anderson
Ranch artistic staff to assess qualifications.
If you wish to take a particular workshop whether or not you receive a
scholarship, we encourage you to register for the workshop in addition
to submitting a scholarship application. If awarded a scholarship, your
account will be credited for the amount of the scholarship. However, you
will be required to pay your workshop and housing deposits at the time
of registration, and you will be assessed cancellation fees if you cancel.

student/teacher scholarships
Full-time undergraduate and graduate students, K-12 teachers and
College Professors who missed the February scholarship deadline are
welcome to apply for a 50% tuition scholarship, which is offered on a
standby, space-available basis. In order to qualify for this scholarship,
you must wait until 30 days prior to the start of the workshop to enroll.
If a workshop in which you are interested is still open 30 days before
the start date, you may enroll at half the cost of tuition once you have
submitted documentation of your status as a student or teacher. Tuition,
studio fee, registration fee and housing (if available) are all due in full at
the time of registration.
college credit for ranch workshops
Many colleges and universities in the United States, such as the University
of Colorado - Boulder, may be willing to offer college credit to enrolled
students for workshops taken at Anderson Ranch. To learn more, contact
the registrar at your school or Anderson Ranch’s registrar.
If you are not currently enrolled in a college or university, you may qualify
for undergraduate college credit for most Ranch workshops through
Colorado Mountain College (CMC). This requires that you also register
with CMC and pay their fees at least 30 days prior to the start of your
workshop. For current fees or to enroll with CMC, call 970/925-7740.
