Scholarship Funding

The Centre for Fine Woodworking is grateful for many things, but none so much as our incredibly supportive community and our Friends of the School.

We’re hoping that you are as keen as we are to help out enthusiastic and committed woodworkers and future woodworkers who might not otherwise be able to pursue their passion to the extent they’d like. We will provide them with the finest tutoring, a supportive environment, and all the tools and equipment needed for them to do what they love, upskill, and maybe even start a new career.

But we need the help of our community to make this work.

We’re offering two kinds of scholarships. The Thorkild Hansen Scolarship, which is aimed towards those aged 18-25 and a permanent resident in the Top of the South/Te Tau Ihu. The General Maker’s Scholarship is for makers with some experience with woodworking, and a passion to continue with their learning of the craft.

We want to make this as easy as possible to reach our goal of 10 scholarships, so we’re leaving the funding specifications as flexible as we can. You can get as specific or general as you like.

We have a goal of offering a total of $15,000 in Scholarships over the next year. Our prices vary for our classes based on materials used, how machine heavy the classes are, and the complexity of the class (if it requires a teaching assistant) but these are the general prices for our classes:

  • 4 x weekend classes @ $475 each

  • 4 x 1 week class @ $1600 - $1800 each

  • 2 x 2 week class @ $2500 each

There are 2 options for those who wish to get involved:

  1. A general donation to the scholarship fund.

  2. A donation to a particular scholarship, either the Thorkild Hansen Scholarship, or the General Maker’s Scholarship.

Then within these options, you can provide a full scholarship for a weekend, 1-week, or 2-week class. Or a partial scholarship of any amount.

We are incredibly grateful to our Friends of the School for their generosity of spirit. We look forward to partnering with you for this endeavour. It’s one we’re very excited about.
