Financial Aid:
The Fiske Fund:
The Fiske Fund administered by the Northeastern Woodworkers Association may defray part of your expenses for a woodworking course you may wish to take at Banner Hill School. The stated purpose of the fund is "to provide individual grants for the pursuit of woodworking programs which enhance and advance the understanding and application of woodworking techniques and principles for amateur and professional applications." Grant awards are given based on your projected budget for tuition, material fees, plus room and board....awards are normally given for 1/2 that projected amount, with a maximum award amount of $1,000.
