Help for those in financial need
Please Contribute to the Scholarship Fund
Scholarships are possible because people make donations to our Scholarship fund.
Please help us help our community by contributing generously to this fund. You can make a contribution
as part of the Fair registration process, in person at the Fair or send a check to the address below.
Each year, Fantasia Fair offers a number of scholarships as another way to help the community. These scholarships
make it possible for some to attend our conference who couldn't otherwise afford to come. Scholarship
recipients learn things at Fantasia Fair and the go back to their local communities to share what they learned. These
people can and do make a difference.
Individuals receiving full scholarships will receive free tuition to the Fair, including all seminars, workshops, banquets
& events, daily lunches, and shared room accommodations for seven nights. The scholarships are open to individuals
of all ages who demonstrate financial need. Scholarship recipients will be responsible for their own transportation to
and from Provincetown.
Applicants will be required to submit an application that will describe why they want to attend Fantasia Fair and why they
need a scholarships to attend the Fair. Scholarships will be awarded based upon the judgement of the Fantasia Fair Scholarship Committee.
Typically, four scholarships are awarded and one of these scholarships goes to a couple. All applications and their results are confidential,
though the Fair reserves the right to anonymously reproduce parts or all of the application.
