助学金计划

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.

助学金涵盖什么

获批的助学金会在助学金有效期内免除你修读的每一门课程的学费——包括讲座、嵌入式问题、考试和最终证书。你将获得与付费学员完全相同的证书：相同的资格、相同的认可，没有星号标注。助学金不会限制你选修哪些课程，也不限制你取得多少张证书。它的有效期为一年，每年可续期。

资格

满足的话就可以申请 至少一个 以下内容：

  • 您的家庭收入低于您所在国家/地区的中位数
  • 您获得政府收入援助或同等社会福利
  • 您是一名全日制学生，没有独立收入
  • 你居住的国家因制裁而无法进行国际支付（例如伊朗、古巴、朝鲜、叙利亚），即使你愿意也无法支付课程费用
  • 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

如何申请

  1. 完成申请 — 在线表格大约需要五分钟。
  2. 上传一份证明文件 — 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. 等待审核 — 我们的志愿者团队会在 5 至 10 个工作日内回复。
  4. 通过电子邮件接收决定 — approved applicants are enrolled immediately. If declined, we explain what additional documentation would strengthen a re-application, or point you to the route below.

支持文件仅用于评估您的申请，并会在做出决定后 30 天内从我们的服务器中删除。您的申请是保密的——其他学习者或讲师永远不会看到。

如果我们暂时还无法帮上忙

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.

常见问题

助学金的有效期是多长？
自批准之日起一年。如果您继续符合标准，请每年重新申请。

如果我的情况有所改善怎么办？
如果您的收入大幅增加，请告知我们，以便我们将助学金转给仍然需要的学习者。

授予的助学金有上限吗？
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.
