All students, including scholarship students, are responsible for the cost of materials and studio fees associated with their workshop.

Summer 2027 applications will open in November of 2026.

Summer Studio Assistant Scholarship

Studio assistants are responsible for helping instructors as directed, recording student material purchases, upholding Pocosin policies, and maintaining a clean and safe working environment. They should have enough experience in their studio area to be capable of helping other students as needed.

Studio assistants receive housing, tuition, and meals. They are responsible for their own travel, material costs, and studio and material fees for the workshop. Selection is based on knowledge of a working studio, relevant experience, and merit. Studio Assistant Scholarships may not be available for every workshop.
