Transfers
You may transfer from one workshop to another or from one housing
option to another, space permitting. To do so, please notify us at least 30
days before the start of your workshop or housing reservation and pay a
$25 transfer fee. Registrations are not transferable to another person.

Waiting Lists
When a workshop or field expedition fills, we start a waiting list. There
is no charge to be on the waiting list. If space becomes available, we
contact the first person on the list. That person then has 24 hours to
register before we move on to the next person. If a space becomes
available within 30 days of the start of a workshop, the registrar may
contact all those on the waiting list and the space will be given to the
first person to register.

If the Ranch Cancels a Workshop
Occasionally Anderson Ranch must cancel a workshop due to low enrollment, faculty illness or other unforeseen circumstances. We will notify
you if a workshop or field expedition for which you have registered has
been cancelled. You may then enroll in another workshop or field expedition (based on availability) or receive a full refund of tuition, housing,
studio and applicable registration fees. Notification of cancellation will
normally occur one month prior to the beginning of the workshop; in rare
cases, however, it may be less. Anderson Ranch is not responsible for
losses incurred due to off-Ranch housing, travel or other arrangements.

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.
All scholarship applications are reviewed based on:
• Artistic merit
• Potential for artistic development through our programs
• Diversity including age, geographic location, ethnic background
• Financial need
Applicants are encouraged to address these points as appropriate in
their cover letters.
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 could also cover studio fee
and additional assistance toward room and/or board. You must check off
the appropriate box on the application form in order to be considered.

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, you are encouraged to register for the
workshop in addition to submitting a scholarship application. That way,
if you are 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.
Adult scholarship application deadline: Complete applications for
