Scholarship and Work-Study Program - Apply by March 1st

First Aid Arts aims to make our training offerings as accessible as we can. We have a limited number of scholarships and work-study positions for both of our upcoming trainings in April. Our intention in underwriting these costs is to increase access to our trainings. We are particularly interested in supporting individuals with limited resources who are serving populations with limited access to mental health resources.

We appreciate your interest in applying for a scholarship or work-study volunteer position to attend a First Aid Arts training. Please take a few minutes to read through this page and determine which option is best for you.

Application Due Date: March 1st, 2024

RESPONDER TRAINING APRIL 2024: Scholarship & Work Study applications due March 1st, 2024. If you applied, your submission will be reviewed by First Aid Arts staff members and we will notify recipients within 2 weeks of receiving the application. We want to make sure you have enough time to plan for travel if you are visiting Seattle for the training!


Scholarship Program

Please review the criteria for scholarship eligibility before completing the application included below.

Scholarship recipients will receive discount starting at 25% off the Option 1 price on our sliding scale (lowest price). Please note that we are only able to provide partial scholarships at this time. If you receive a scholarship and are unable to pay the minimum required, we will help direct you towards other ways of raising funds for your registration. Scholarship funds may only be applied to the registration fee and are not transferrable.

Criteria for Scholarship Eligibility

To be considered for a First Aid Arts scholarship we recommend that you:

  • Believe in the importance of creativity and the arts for personal care and to enhance resiliency

  • Are interested in implementing the tools we provide in our trainings on an ongoing basis for self-care and the care of others

  • Have a desire to learn, take creative risks, and have fun!

Work-Study Volunteer Program

Consider volunteering at a training in exchange for a highly discounted training spot!

Work-study volunteer positions require a commitment to fulfilling specific duties as outlined by the Events & Logistics Coordinator and will receive discount of 50% off the Option 1 price on our sliding scale (lowest price) for each training level.

The work-study volunteer commitment entails arriving up to 2 hours early to help with set up and staying up to 2 hours after the end of each day of training to help tear down. Volunteers may be asked to do a wide variety of duties that include, but are not limited to, working at the registration table, helping to assist in arranging chairs or tables, covering tables/floors to protect from art materials, assisting the training team in setting up AV equipment, assisting with art materials, or other needs as determined by the E&L Coordinator. If you have a skill or ability that would help you in one of these areas, or a limitation or disability that prohibits your participation in one of these areas, please make note of this on your application.

Please note that volunteer placements are not guaranteed and are subject to availability and limitations. Opportunities are not assigned strictly on a first-come, first-serve basis; factors such as specific skills, flexibility, experience, and more will be considered in each case.

Your application will be received and reviewed by the Events & Logistics Coordinator, and, if selected, you will receive a ‘work-study volunteer offer’ via email accompanied by details of our Volunteer Policies and Procedures. If you choose to accept, you will reply to the email confirming your acceptance. The E&L Coordinator will follow up with instructions for registering (including your scholarship code for registration check-out) and additional information relevant to your role. First Aid Arts reserves the right to withdraw the offer if you are unable to fulfill your duties as a work-study volunteer or if you are in violation of our Volunteer Policies and Procedures.
