BLACK EQUITY SCHOLARSHIPS
SotA aims to offer an alternative to the undeniable financial, bodily, psychological, metaphysical, and myriad other effects that white supremacy has. One of the ways SotA actively dismantles systems of oppression is by making this space more accessible to Black students. In stating our commitment, we hold ourselves accountable to build an inclusive and equitable community, where all feel welcome and safe(r) to create, dream, collaborate, discover, and breathe.
The scholarship application includes the full student application – you do not need to fill out both.

NEED-BASED SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships have been built into our budget since our very first year, and we have continued to sustain our scholarship program with our Annual Fundraisers. We know that the financial barrier is prohibitive to many who want to attend SotA, and we are committed to offering scholarships each year.

tuition:
We have never raised tuition, and have often stated that our goal was for SotA to become cheaper and thus more accessible. But our food and lodging expenses have been going up steadily. Last year we shared the actual student cost, but still let folks attend at the original rate. This year we are not able to have that flexibility, and student tuition is $575 for a (longer!) 9-day session.
students will choose one of the following:
$ 575: Community Rate
This is our actual cost. If this is the max you can afford, please select this option!
$$ 775: Justice Rate
This not only covers the break-even cost of your being at SotA ($575), but contributes to meeting our operational deficits incurred from keeping our tuition as accessible as possible. This rate for folks who are able to pay more helps keep SotA sustainable.
Anyone can apply to attend SotA, as long as you are 18+! At SotA, everyone has the opportunity to hold every role: we all perform work service, faculty and staff attend classes, and as a student, you can teach pop-up classes. Our programming is self-directed: you choose which classes you want to take!
