I'm a senior in high school interested in art and looking for scholarships to help with college expenses. Does anyone have recommendations on where to search for art scholarships specifically for high school seniors?
There are several scholarships that specifically cater to high school seniors pursuing art. Here are a few that you might want to look into:
1. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards: This is one of the country's oldest and most prestigious awards for teen artists and writers. They offer numerous art awards, including some that are specifically for seniors in high school.
2. The Congressional Art Competition: This competition offers a chance to have your artwork displayed in the U.S. Capitol Building. Each member of Congress sponsors the competition for their district, and the winner gets to go to Washington D.C. for the installation of their art.
3. The National YoungArts Foundation: YoungArts offers cash awards to artists in 10 different categories, including visual, literary, design, and performing arts. They also provide a masterclass and showcase opportunity.
4. The Doodle for Google Scholarship: Though not strictly an 'art' scholarship, this is a unique competition where the winning doodle is featured on Google's homepage for a day. The winner also receives a scholarship.
What's more, art departments at some colleges and universities also offer scholarships to incoming students. You might want to reach out to the art departments for the schools you're applying to, to see if they provide any scholarship opportunities.
Finally, a great resource to find other art scholarships is Appily, where you can filter scholarships by subject. You can select 'Art' as your subject of interest and see all the scholarships that pop up.
