FAWC’s Tiered Tuition System
Our tiered tuition system helps us make Summer Workshops as affordable as possible for the widest range of students. And remember, no matter which tuition level you choose, you will get the exact same experience during your week with us at FAWC.
Here are the different tuition levels for this summer:
1
$900–‘Pay it Forward’ Tuition Level. If your financial position is secure enough to allow you the ability and the desire to ‘pay it forward,’ then this is the tuition level for you. Paying this tuition rate really does pay it forward, as it will help FAWC provide access to workshops for those who could not otherwise afford to attend.
If you can afford to pay at this level, we ask that you also consider magnifying your impact by making a tax-deductible donation to our Access Fund, which is dedicated to increasing access to our educational programs by supporting our scholarship program.

2
$800–Standard Tuition Level. This tuition level most closely represents the true cost of a summer workshop. This tier allows us to fairly compensate our world-class instructors and hardworking staff, maintain our facilities, and pay all the other expenses necessary to provide a top-notch summer workshop program every year.
3
$700–Moderately-Subsidized Tuition Level. If the Standard Tuition Level price is too much for your financial situation and prevents you from taking a workshop, then this tuition level is for you.
4
$500–Subsidized Tuition Level. If the other tuition levels are all more than you can afford, then this is the tuition level for you.
If you are unable to pay the Subsidized Tuition Level, we invite you to apply for a scholarship. Click here to learn more about our scholarship program and to apply.
5
$400–Card to Culture Tuition Level. If you are an EBT, WIC, or ConnectorCare cardholder, then this is the tuition level for you.
We are proud to participate in Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program, in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Public Health’s WIC Nutrition Program, and the Massachusetts Health Connector, as part of our ongoing effort to make our summer workshops as affordable as possible.
Thank you for paying the highest tuition rate you can and helping us in our effort to make the Summer Workshops as affordable as possible. If you have questions about our Tiered Tuition system, please get in touch with Program Director David Simpson at dsimpson@fawc.org.
