Textile Center Scholarship Application

Textile Center is committed to eliminating barriers that prevent anyone from appreciating and contributing to fiber arts in their own unique and valuable ways. One way we can build and support a diverse and inclusive arts community that fosters a sense of belonging for all individuals is to ensure access to our classes by removing financial barriers.

Anyone with financial need is eligible to apply. Textile Center does not require scholarship applicants to provide evidence of financial need, but instead asks all who apply to determine their own individual level of need.

Textile Center prioritizes giving scholarships to individuals who identify as indigenous, persons of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and/or members of other historically or systemically marginalized groups.

Students may complete and submit a scholarship application any time prior to the start of a class. We cannot guarantee scholarship placement for all applicants and will only notify selected applicants. Scholarship recipients may be notified as late as 1 week before the start of a class. 

STEP ONE: Complete the scholarship application form below.

STEP TWO: Email Cristin McKnight Sethi, Director of Education, at cmcknightsethi@textilecentermn.org to follow up on the status of your application if you have not heard back from someone from the Education team at Textile Center before the start of the class you would like to take. While we make every effort to accommodate and respond to each scholarship request, this is not always possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience. For any additional questions regarding scholarship, please reach out to Cristin.

We look forward to having you in class!
