Bent Arts Sliding Scale Policy
Because we are committed to making our classes financially accessible to our communities, Bent offers a sliding scale for tuition fees. Our standard tuition cost is $75 per month (for one class). The following chart offers guidelines for tuition payment based on monthly income.
As a community committed to economic justice, Bent would also like you to consider your class background and potential resources as well as debt and financial burden before deciding on a tuition amount. If you have questions or concerns please contact Elaina Ellis at bent.director@gmail.com for more information.
