At Let’s Letter Together!, we believe in the power of generosity—the kind that changes lives, opens doors, and creates ripples of possibility. We are honored to carry forward the legacy of artists and educators like Carol DuBosch, whose kindness and guidance have helped so many find their way. Inspired by Carol’s selfless spirit, we are committed to nurturing an inclusive, justice-centered creative community where everyone—especially historically excluded—can thrive.
Your gift, regardless of size, helps make lettering education more accessible. It supports individuals from underrepresented communities in taking courses that might otherwise be out of reach. Together, we are breaking down barriers that have long stood in the way of racial justice, environmental justice, restorative justice, and human rights. Your generosity fuels creativity, equity, and a future where more voices, hands, and hearts can participate in this work.

Giving Inspired by Carol DuBosch
I’ll never forget the moment Carol placed a pen in my hand. I was at a national calligraphy conference, struggling with a particular script, trying to make it work. With her signature warmth and wisdom, Carol didn’t just show me how. She made me feel like I could. Like the letters I was about to make mattered. And because of that, they did.
After her Lettering with the Masters session, I asked Carol where I could send payment for her time. She simply said:
"I do not want to be paid. I love being your friend, and want nothing more than for you to succeed at all the amazing things you do. If I can assist in any small way, that is "payment" enough."
Carol’s generosity—both financially and through the way she leads with kindness—is the inspiration behind this scholarship. The funds she would have earned are being passed forward to others, and you can take part in that, too.
Every contribution to this scholarship, no matter how big or small, helps someone access an online or in-person course through Let’s Letter Together!. Over the years, dozens of recipients have had the chance to learn, grow, and take their lettering further because of people like you.

At Let’s Letter Together!, we believe that creativity flourishes when everyone has a seat at the table. That’s why we offer full and partial scholarships to individuals who:
- Have a passion for hand lettering or visual facilitation and are eager to grow their skills.
- Face financial barriers that make participation difficult.
- Identify as members of historically forcibly marginalized communities, including People of Color, Indigenous individuals, women, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those living at the intersections of these identities.
- Are engaged in racial justice, environmental justice, restorative justice, and human rights work and seek creative tools to support their efforts.
Additionally, we offer free online classes to staff of nonprofit organizations and community coalitions working toward justice-centered missions. If this is the work you do, and creative tools could support your efforts, we would love to welcome you. For customized team training, email Heather directly.
We also know that exchange rates can make it harder to say yes to learning, and we don’t want that to be the thing holding you back. If currency conversion makes our offerings feel out of reach, please reach out—we’re happy to explore a rate that makes participation more doable for you.
These scholarships exist because we believe systemic barriers should not limit access to learning. By centering diverse cultures, identities, and perspectives, we strengthen our creative work and our shared future.
If you see yourself reflected in these values, please reach out via email to explore opportunities. Let’s connect, find the right course for you, and continue building a creative community that honors those who came before us while making space for what’s next.
