There are also scholarships available from the Mendocino Foundation, but for various reasons, their application deadline(early March) occurs before you would even apply to our program. In order to be eligible for those funds, you would need to apply early to become a student of Mendocino College, which is separate from applying to our program. Go here to do this: https://www.mendocino.edu/admissions This will allow you to apply for scholarships for the upcoming Fall semester. Go here for more information https://www.mendocino.edu/student-services/financial-aid/scholarships or https://mendocinocollege.awardspring.com/ to apply. If you are then awarded a scholarship, but do not make it into our program, the money will be passed on to other students.
