Scholarships

PGC offers a limited number of half-tuition scholarships for summer intensive classes. Scholarships are available to anyone and awarded in two categories:

  • Summer Intensive Scholarship
  • Summer Teen Scholarship

All students must apply by March 15 in order to be considered for a scholarship and will be notified before the April 15 early registration deadline.

To apply, send the following to Heather McElwee, Assistant Director, Pittsburgh Glass Center, 5472 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206:

  • Completed summer registration form
  • 5 slides or digital images of your work
  • A short essay explaining why you wish to take a particular class

Summer College Scholarship

PGC partners with colleges to provide scholarship funds for our intensive week-long classes. If you are a college student or professor who thinks your college might be interested in partnering please call Heather at 412-365-2145 x 206.

Work Study

We are committed to making our classes accessible year round to the broadest possible audience. To this end, we offer a Work Study program so that a limited number of students can earn volunteer hours each semester that can be applied as a discount credit against the cost of tuition for 8-week classes. Volunteer hours must be completed the semester before credit can be applied to a class. Call Sam Laffey at 412.365.2145 x208 for details.
