Scholarship Opportunities

at the FCEA

The FCEA Scholarship Application Period is Closed for 2025

Next Open Application Period: June 15 through July 15, 2026

We at the FCEA strive to make education accessible and available to all. We believe everyone’s educational needs are best served by insuring our student body is well-rounded and diverse. With these goals in mind, we offer the following opportunities for financial aid.

The FCEA offers a limited number of full scholarships, providing a tuition waiver, to a small selection of students chosen once a year by our Scholarship Selection Committee. Occasionally, we also offer work-study positions that are announced during the school year.

The number of students chosen each year is limited and will depend upon the school’s growth and financial position at the time of application.

There are two types of scholarships at the FCEA:

  • Needs-based scholarship in response to a student’s financial hardship, and
  • Diversity scholarship intended to support students from historically marginalized and/or oppressed communities worldwide.

We receive a large number of applications each year and award at least one student in each category a full scholarship award.

The FCEA Needs-Based Scholarship

The FCEA recognizes that in order to create the best in an astrological education, a student body must be inclusive of those with limited resources or financial support. This full scholarship will be awarded to the person whom our scholarship committee deems to be the most promising aspiring student who is in need of financial assistance in covering tuition at the FCEA.

The FCEA Diversity Scholarship

The FCEA is committed to promoting diversity in our student body in terms of race, ethnicity, age, gender, gender preference, sexual orientation and the inclusion of other underrepresented groups in education and in the professional field of astrology. The scholarship committee seeks to award candidates with a full scholarship who contribute to a diverse student body and who help build a more inclusive learning experience at the FCEA.

Scholarship Duration and Requirements

Award recipients will begin receiving tuition waivers from the moment they are selected. (Waivers are not retroactive.) The scholarship will continue until the student has successfully completed all Master certification requirements, or if the student elects to withdraw from or suspend their studies. Recipients must maintain a good academic standing in their courses, and uphold appropriate conduct, while receiving scholarship support. Active engagement in all coursework, and consistent academic progress, is also required.
