Programma di borse di studio

Every ArtaQuest course is priced at the equivalent of one US dollar per hour of video (charged in USD; shown in your local currency) — the same modest fee that keeps the lights on and the lecturers paid. A bursary covers that fee in full for any learner whose financial need we can verify, and we ask for the lightest proof we can. If you cannot easily gather the documents we ask for below, see If we cannot help yet further down — we keep that route open on purpose.

Cosa copre una borsa di studio

An approved bursary waives the course fee for every course you take during the bursary period — lectures, marker questions, exams, and the final certificate. You receive your certificate exactly as a paying student would: same credential, same standing, no asterisk. A bursary does not restrict which courses you take or how many certificates you earn. It is valid for one year and renewable annually.

Idoneità

Puoi candidarti se ti incontri almeno uno dei seguenti:

  • Il tuo reddito familiare è inferiore alla mediana del tuo Paese
  • Ricevi un sussidio governativo al reddito o un sussidio sociale equivalente
  • Sei uno studente a tempo pieno senza reddito indipendente
  • You live in a country where international payment is blocked by sanctions (e.g. Iran, Cuba, North Korea, Syria) and cannot pay the course fee even if you wanted to
  • Other financial hardship — documented if you can, described in your own words if you cannot. See If we cannot help yet below for the route we keep open when documents are hard to gather

Come fare domanda

  1. Completa la domanda — il modulo online dura circa cinque minuti.
  2. Carica un documento di supporto — a PDF or image confirming low-income status: a recent tax notice, government benefit letter, student card, payslip, or equivalent document issued in your country. If you cannot produce any of these, see If we cannot help yet below.
  3. Attendi la revisione — il nostro team di volontari risponde entro 5-10 giorni lavorativi.
  4. Ricevi una decisione via e-mail — approved applicants are enrolled immediately. If declined, we explain what additional documentation would strengthen a re-application, or point you to the route below.

I documenti giustificativi vengono utilizzati solo per valutare la tua domanda e vengono eliminati dai nostri server entro 30 giorni dalla decisione. La tua domanda è riservata, mai visibile ad altri studenti o istruttori.

If We Cannot Help Yet

Some learners cannot produce the documents we ask for: people working in the informal economy, people without papers, people moving between addresses, people whose paperwork was lost. We do not want that to be the end of the conversation. If the standard application does not fit your situation, write to bursaries@artaquest.org with a short account of your circumstances in your own words. A human reads every message and replies within 5–10 business days. We cannot promise we will be able to help in every case — the fund is finite — but no application is dismissed for lack of paperwork alone.

Domande comuni

Quanto dura una borsa di studio?
Un anno dalla data di approvazione. Riapplicare ogni anno se si continua a soddisfare i criteri.

Cosa succede se le mie circostanze migliorano?
Se il tuo reddito aumenta in modo significativo, faccelo sapere in modo da poter reindirizzare i fondi della borsa di studio agli studenti che ne hanno ancora bisogno.

C'è un limite alle borse di studio concesse?
We grant bursaries based on the available fund balance, sustained by donations and a portion of course-fee revenue. Widening access is central to our mission: a credential only the financially comfortable can obtain would defeat the point of teaching freely in the first place. No applicant is ever turned away over their views or their worldview. If demand exceeds capacity, we keep a waitlist and work actively to grow the fund.
