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 in their
cover letters, 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 registration
fee, studio fee, housing, meals, travel and supplies are the responsibility
of the participant.
Please check the box on the scholarship application if you are eligible for the following special scholarship fund:

Hearst Scholarship Fund
The William Randolph Hearst Scholarship Fund is for graduating high
school seniors and currently-enrolled undergraduate students. There
are a limited number of Hearst Scholarships available that sometimes
go beyond the basic tuition grant. In cases of greater need, it might
also cover the studio fee and additional assistance toward room and/
or board. You must check the appropriate box on the application form in
order to be considered.

Student/Teacher Scholarships
Full-time students, K-12 teachers and college professors who missed
the March 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.

Receiving College Credit for Ranch Workshops
Many colleges and universities in the United States, such as the University of Colorado at 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, please call 970/925-7740.

Scholarship Application Procedure
Please use the application form on page 72 or on our website. When
applying, please indicate your first, second and third workshop choices,
as well as any housing preferences. There is no fee to apply, but if you
are awarded a scholarship you will be required to submit a $300 deposit
to accept your award.
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.
