Some history:

Late in 1998, a generous SFCAC family established a scholarship program for on-site classes. Their goal was to help make participation in the program at Fort Mason a possibility for families who aren't a part of SFCAC's outreach program and for whom regular tuition may be a bit of a stretch. In the first year, close to ten new families were able to attend classes at the Art Center on partial scholarships thanks to the generosity of this family. Their thoughtful gesture also inspired the Art Center to permanently establish and solicit funding for an ongoing scholarship fund for on-site classes.

Recently, the Eugene & Rose Kleiner Family Foundation helped expand this scholarship program four-fold. Renamed the Raphael Bouganim Memorial Scholarship, in honor of a beloved artist, musician and father with ties to the Art Center, the fund will provide partial to full tuition assistance for a minimum of 5% the Art Center's total enrollees in the coming year.
