Minorities have had a significant impact on the art world for decades. Now, in the wake of social injustice, it’s critical to support their creative ambitions toward a more opportunistic future.

To support minority art students in their creative ambitions beyond the classroom, the Minority Student Art Scholarship will be awarded to one student from a minority background who has big aspirations for their artistic career.

This scholarship is open to all minority students who are interested in, already enrolled in, or are recent graduates who took courses going toward a degree in the arts. To apply, please write about the art degree/school you are interested in or are currently enrolled in and why it is important to you.
