North House Folk School

The North House Folk School Scholarship fund has been made available through the donations of generous supporters who want to make courses available to all. While anyone with financial need is welcome to apply, the goals of the scholarship program are as follows (in no particular order): to increase the diversity of age and race in our student body; to offer opportunities to local residents of Cook County and Grand Portage, MN; to support the learning of those with professional aspirations in a particular craft area; and to make our programming available to those with financial need.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION UPDATE:
The scholarship application is now open. This application period is open through March 31, 2023. Eligible courses will be those falling between June and December, 2023.
Please call our Front Office at 218-387-9762 to register as a scholarship applicant before submitting an application (linked below). 

Scholarships are available at three levels. 
 - Half: half of tuition and materials.
 - Full: full amount of tuition and materials.
 - Full+: full amount of tuition and materials and $50 per course day to offset housing/transportation costs.

Follow the steps below  to register as a scholarship applicant for a course and submit your scholarship application:

• STEP 1: All applicants must call our Front Office/School Store at 218-387-9762 and register as a scholarship applicant for their desired course BEFORE submitting a scholarship application.
