Scholarship Funds

General Scholarship Fund

Generator’s General Scholarship Fund helps increase access to Generator’s shops and tools regardless of a person’s financial circumstances, and creates opportunities for more people to learn a new skill, express an artistic vision, develop a product, and potentially build a business. By investing in our community, you are helping to foster growth, increase diversity, and help more people find success.

Generator’s General Scholarship is open to individuals who are able to clearly demonstrate financial need, are committed to personal and professional advancement, and who will benefit from access to Generator’s technical shops, tools, and creative community.


BIPOC Scholarship Fund

Systemic racism and discriminatory policies have resulted in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) facing greater obstacles to advancing in STEAM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and entrepreneurship.

Generator aims to support BIPOC artists, makers, engineers, innovators, and entrepreneurs by making available BIPOC Scholarships twice a year for the foreseeable future. This community-funded initiative provides recipients with 6 months of free membership and a $400 tool training credit – a $970 value per person.

Generator membership grants access to our six specialty workshops, hundreds of tools, and over 12,500 square feet of workspace, as well as our active community of makers.

We distribute $10,000+ annually in scholarships to help BIPOC community members meaningfully advance their personal and professional pursuits.

Supporting Generator’s BIPOC Scholarship Fund helps create a more equitable future for Vermont’s BIPOC community, bridging opportunity gaps and fostering innovation in art, science, and entrepreneurship.

Everyone has great ideas—and great ideas can change the world. When we work to create equal access, we unlock this potential in everyone.
