About The Program

The goal of the Community Makers Northwest (CMNW) scholarship program is to help lower income community members gain access to resources and expertise available in maker spaces. The program achieves this goal by partnering with local maker spaces to provide discounted or subsidized memberships to their spaces. This program benefits members of the community by enabling them to get access to maker resources that would otherwise be out of reach for financial reasons.
