Making Design Education Accessible

Introducing Petit Architect’s Bursary Program

Creative opportunities should be available to every child, and we want to encourage families who could benefit from additional support accessing enrichment opportunities to join us.

Through the Petit Architect Bursary Program, we aim to reduce barriers for families who would like their child to participate in our architecture and design classes and camps but need additional support.

We’re also inviting our architecture, design, real estate, and industry partners and professionals to help us grow the program and make a meaningful impact on the next generation.

APPLYING FOR A BURSARY

The program is open to all families and applications will be accepted throughout the year while class/camp spaces and bursary funds remain available.

How Bursaries Are Awarded

Bursaries provide discounts ranging from 25% to 75% of camp and class fees, depending on available funds and the level of need. Applications will be reviewed individually, with the goal of supporting as many children as possible while ensuring meaningful assistance for each family.

The application is simple and applicants will be notified of the outcome of their request within ten business days.

Eligibility

  • Open to all families that need support

  • Applicable only to classes and camps offered at our Kerrisdale Studio location.

  • Families may apply directly, or a child may be nominated by a parent, educator, community member, or friend.

  • Submission of an application or nomination does not guarantee a bursary or class/camp placement.
