Scholarships
Help for those in financial need

---

Each year, Fantasia Fair offers a number of scholarships on a competitive basis. Winners will receive free tuition to the Fair, including all seminars, workshops, and events, 12 meals, and shared room accommodations for seven nights. The scholarships are open to individuals of all ages who demonstrate financial need. Winners will be responsible for their own transportation to and from Provincetown.

Applicants will submit a statement of financial need, and a letter explaining why they want to attend Fantasia Fair. Awards will be made to the writers of the letters judged best by the Fantasia Fair Planning Committee. Typically, four scholarships are awarded. All applications and their results are confidential, though the Fair reserves the right to anonymously reproduce parts or all of the letter.

Eligibility Requirements

• Minimum age of 18  (or parental permission)
• Demonstrated financial need (applications will be considered on an individual basis)
• Submission of a “Why I Want to Come to Fantasia Fair” letter
• Receipt of materials by July 31

Be sure to include your contact information.

Scholarship Rules

1. Submit a letter, note, or other materials demonstrating your financial need; in other words, tell the committee how your financial situation prevents you from coming to Fantasia Fair
2. Submit a letter entitled “Why I Want to Come to Fantasia Fair.”  There are no length or stylistic limitations.  Be creative, but be convincing.
3. Applicants under 18 years of age must include a document giving parental consent.
4. Following the July 31 deadline, the Fantasia Fair Planning Committee will evaluate all submissions.  Those who have not, in the Committee’s judgment, demonstrated financial need will be excluded from further consideration.  “Why I Want to Come to Fantasia Fair” letters will then be read and rated.  Awards will be given to the top candidates who, in the judgment of the Committee, most convincingly demonstrate their desire to attend Fantasia Fair.
5. Scholarship winners will be notified by August 15.
6. In the event that a winner is not able to attend Fantasia Fair or declines the scholarship, another applicant will be awarded the scholarship.
7. Fantasia Fair may post portions of the winning letters on this web site and use for promotional purposes and we will endeavor to work with the award winners to accommodate them about privacy concerns

Please submit your materials by the July 31st deadline.
