Create Your Own Scholarship
All scholarships provide residency fees and meals for artists while they are abroad. No travel is included. If you would like to create a scholarship fund to benefit artists of a certain medium, community, ethnic or social background we encourage you to do so. You will choose the award amount, title and if it is recurring or not. This is a great way to honor someone that has made a great accomplishment or has passed away. The teaching artists that receive a scholarship are required to teach twice as many hours and must commit to a full three month residency abroad to gain the full experience. If you would like to design your own scholarship for a donation of $500 or more please donate here and email us at [email protected] with your specifications.
