Project Zero, with the support of the Saul Zaentz Charitable Foundation and individual donations celebrating its 50th anniversary, offers professional learning scholarships aimed at assisting educators and institutions. These scholarships are designed to benefit educators working in under-resourced contexts and with historically marginalized students. Eligible educators in the United States can apply for scholarships to reduce the tuition cost of Project Zero's institutes, courses, off-site conferences, and professional development activities. Educators outside the United States serving a specified percentage of low-income students or those receiving financial assistance may also qualify.

While scholarship funding is limited, it is intended to make Project Zero's programs more accessible. Scholarships typically cover between 20% and 80% of the program tuition, depending on the specific event. However, it's important to note that the scholarships only apply to program tuition and cannot be used for travel or other associated expenses. The scholarship application process is integrated into the overall program application, and the deadline for the Project Zero Conference (PZC) scholarship is specified. Additionally, for specific Project Zero Courses and the Let's Play Mini-Course, separate scholarship application information is provided, and individuals must apply for scholarships before registering for these programs.

Eligibility for Project Zero Professional Learning Scholarships is primarily based on the aim to support educators working in under-resourced contexts and with historically marginalized students. Qualified educators whose primary work falls within these settings are eligible to apply. Additionally, educators outside of the United States can qualify if their schools or organizations serve a minimum of 35% of students meeting the country-defined standard for low-income or receiving financial assistance.
