VSC GRANTS AND WORK-EXCHANGE AID AWARDS
VSC offers partial funding in grants and work exchange aid based on a combination of merit and need. This assistance may cover up to half the full cost of a four-week residency. VSC Grants require no work; Work-Exchange Aid requires assisting with the operation of the community, for example, in food service or the office (work is valued at $15/hour for up to 10 hours per week). There is more grant assistance available for November through April Residencies.
