Sitka Fine Arts Camp’s financial aid program is intended to help Alaskan students who are interested in furthering their artistic development and who would be unable to attend camp without financial assistance. Each year, about twenty five percent of students at Sitka Fine Arts Camp receive some kind of financial aid.
Financial aid from Sitka Fine Arts Camp is awarded based on financial need. Awards cover the cost of tuition, room, and board at camp. Financial aid does not cover travel expenses. Alaskan residents receive priority consideration.
Community organizations around Alaska also frequently provide financial support to send local students to Sitka Fine Arts Camp. These regional scholarships are often based on both artistic merit and financial need, and may be applied to directly through the host organization. Students are encouraged to research grant and scholarship programs provided by their local governments, foundations, arts councils, banks, churches, and school groups, as well as artistic and educational organizations to help supplement the cost of their tuition.
