Offsite Scholarship

Closed

One of Offsite's core missions is expanding access for BIPOC students through scholarships designed for those with genuine financial need. Scholarships are limited — applicants seeking free tuition without demonstrated hardship will not be considered.

To apply you must identify as BIPOC, share your aspirations as a student and designer, and if selected, be available for an online interview.

Please note: this cohort will be our most competitive yet. Due to the current political climate, several of our benefactors have withdrawn funding, making financial assistance especially limited this cycle.

It includes people of African, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern descent, and Native American or Indigenous descent from around the world.
