These spots are reserved for persons who seek to learn bird taxidermy for education or professional aspirations. Please do not sign up for this spot as a hobbyist. 
Prey Taxidermy strives to create inclusion and diversity in taxidermy and feels that creating a lower-cost structure for certain students may help achieve that. Our diversity spot in class is different than our low-income spot. This is for individuals who are interested in taxidermy and belong to a community that they feel should be more represented in our field of taxidermy. Although they may not qualify directly for the low-income spot, they find that the price is a major barrier to kickstart their careers and see themselves represented in the taxidermy field. We aim to provide two spots that will support a low-income person or someone who wants to see themselves represented in our field. 

PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY.
