Thanks to the incredible generosity of the Windgate Foundation, Peters Valley is excited to offer funded scholarships for Art Educators to attend workshops in 2026. These scholarships will cover the cost of tuition, lodging and meals for any workshop up to 5 days in length during the 2026 season. The recipient will be responsible for the studio/materials fee. 

These scholarships are open to art educators teaching in public and private schools, community colleges, universities, community centers, and nonprofit arts organizations. By attending an immersive workshop at Peters Valley, educators will be able to broaden their understanding of specific craft media (such as woodworking, blacksmithing, photography, fine metals, textiles, ceramics, and other disciplines). They will develop professional artistic skills through hands-on practice, have the chance to observe master craft instructors’ teaching methodologies, and ultimately integrate newly acquired craft skills directly into their curricula.

Scholarship recipients will be chosen by a panel of Peters Valley staff. The panel will review the applications and select those that reflect the strongest need and desire to further develop their skills and understanding of craft media. The panel will take into consideration the applicant's experience and the contents of the letter of intent. While we feel it is important that the applicant show active involvement in their field outside the classroom, we also feel that a strong desire to enhance their school program and learn by doing is equally important. 

Applications are accepted throughout the workshop season, with no deadline to apply.

There is a $5 application fee for this scholarship.
