Scholarships & Bursaries

At Arts Umbrella, we believe every young person should have equal opportunities to engage with the arts. We are committed to providing scholarships and bursaries to our students to help break down the barriers of access to an arts education.

Bursaries

Finances should never prevent a child from participating in the arts. As a non-profit organization, Arts Umbrella is committed to making our programs accessible to as many children and youth in our communities as possible. The Arts Umbrella Bursary Fund allows hundreds of children to register in tuition-based programs at a reduced rate, based on your family’s financial need.

Applications for bursary funding are open to everyone. To view eligibility and submission details, download the application package below, and apply for Fall, Winter, and Spring Sessions, as well as Spring Break and Summer Camps. Your privacy matters to us. All applications are held in confidence.

The Arts Umbrella Bursary Fund is generously supported by:

Nicola Family Foundation
Jeff Mooney and Suzanne Bolton
Marin Investments
Marily Mearns
North-West Ceramics Foundation
And the many generous donors who contribute through the Nicola Wealth Invitational and Splash.
