2025 Grace Art Camp Scholarship Application

To be considered for a scholarship, please follow these steps:

1. Register your child for the camp session you’d like them to attend here
   • Submit a completed camp registration form and the $30 application fee, per applicant
     • Select only the $30 “Scholarship Application” fee on the registration form
       • You do not need to pay the full tuition at this time
       • By selecting the scholarship application option, you are reserving your child’s spot at camp
2. Complete the scholarship application form here
   • Attach proof of need documents (copies only)
   • Attach a brief letter explaining why you need assistance
3. Return the signed scholarship application and supporting documents to susang@grace-institute.org

Please note that scholarships cannot be awarded without appropriate documentation and a completed application.

If you are already qualified for some form of public assistance, such as reduced school lunches and have the verification letter, or a card for a subsidized health care plan, copies of this documentation help us to automatically qualify a family for a scholarship.

You must submit a completed Scholarship Application Form along with requested documentation by November 3, 2025. Scan and email all documents to susang@grace-institute.org or mail to GRACE INSTITUTE, 1535 NE 17th Ave, Portland, OR 97232. Please do not drop off forms or documents in person at this time.

You may request fillable PDFs of both a camp registration form and a scholarship form from the Bookkeeper at susang@grace-institute.org or the Registrar at raya@grace-institute.org.
