Scholarships for Educators and Students

The Museum Art School will be offering a limited number of scholarships for educators and students throughout the 2003-2004 school year. Scholarships are for educators who would otherwise be unable to enroll in MAS courses because of either limited finances or inadequate institutional budgets. Students must be enrolled in the free or reduced-price lunch program to qualify for the scholarship. Winter/Spring 2005 classes.

Applications will be accepted throughout the year, but we encourage applicants to submit the required information as soon as possible as scholarships are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information about how to apply for Museum Art School scholarships please contact the education department at .

Earn Credit

Credentialed teachers may take most of our classes or workshops for credit through California State University San Marcos. Learn more! Winter/Spring 2005 classes.

Student Lunches

Sack lunches may be stored at the coat check and picked up after the tour. Classes may eat their lunches on the open grass areas in the park.

Cancellations

If you need to cancel a field trip, please
call (619) 231-1996 at least two weeks in advance. It is a courtesy to the docents and will enable us to make your time slot available to other classes. Schools with frequent cancellations will be considered a lower priority for future tour reservations.
