Scholarships are funded through the generosity of The Bernard Osher Foundation and are available on a limited, competitive basis. To qualify, applicants must be 50 years of age or older with an annual adjusted gross income less than $50,000. Proof of eligibility may be requested.

The scholarship funds apply directly toward the semester’s membership fee. Successful applicants are asked to contribute $25 toward the balance of the tuition. The member is also responsible for the cost of an annual parking permit (if needed; currently $17) and/or any additional fees for class materials, event admission or transportation. 

Fall 2025 scholarships have been awarded. Applications for Spring 2026 scholarships are accepted October 1-31, 2025 only. Applicants will be notified of their status via email by December 23. Click here for the Spring 2026 scholarship application when it opens on October 1.*

(*NOTE: If the scholarship application page displays as “not started,” “inactive” or “expired,” the application process has not yet opened or has ended for the upcoming semester. Check back during the application window.)
