Students going into the arts often don’t feel supported or encouraged to pursue their passions. The arts go unappreciated in society far too often, taking for granted the importance of art for the creativity, beauty, and entertainment of the world. In order to ensure that art thrives for generations to come, it’s critical for passionate students to be supported on their educational journeys. This scholarship seeks to provide financial assistance and support to students who are pursuing the visual or performing arts. Any student who has at least a 3.0 GPA and is pursuing a major or minor in the visual and/or performing arts (film, theatre, fashion, photography, graphic design, dance, music, journalism, storytelling/writing, mass communications, etc.) may apply for this scholarship. To apply, tell us about your motivation for your craft and the lifelong project you’re passionate about completing.
