"Sometimes, despite trying your hardest, you cannot come up with the money for extra activities for your children. When you face this awful situation, a bursary as generous as yours is like a Christmas gift."
— Arts Umbrella Parent

To ensure that our classes are truly accessible to children, Arts Umbrella established the Bursary Fund. Each year, hundreds of students receive financial support to attend our programs and pursue their passion in the arts.

Arts Umbrella bursaries directly offset tuition fees for all regular classes in Visual & Applied Arts, Digital Arts, Theatre and Dance at our Granville Island facility for children ages 2 to 19. Families who earn $25,000 or less per year qualify for the Arts Umbrella Bursary Fund and all requests are held in confidence.

Applications are now being accepted for the winter session. Click here for an application form.
