Are there specific scholarships available for students who want to study art in college? I'd love to find ways to fund an art major, so any tips or links to these scholarships would be amazing!
There are many scholarships available for students studying art in college! While I can't provide direct links, I can certainly guide you on where to look and what kind of scholarships you might encounter.
1. College-Specific Scholarships: Some colleges offer scholarships for art students. Check the art department page of the colleges you're interested in - they often have details about department-specific scholarships. For example, art institutions like Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) have scholarship programs specifically aimed at art students.
2. National Art Honors Society (NAHS/NJAHS) Scholarship: If you're a member of NAHS or NJAHS, you could be eligible for their scholarships. They offer multiple awards each year to high school seniors who are members of their societies.
3. Local Art Competitions: Many cities and regions have local art competitions that offer monetary prizes or scholarships. Check with your school's counseling office, local art galleries, and community centers for information about these opportunities.
4. Private Scholarships: There are numerous private scholarships available to art students. For example, The Archibald Rutledge Scholarship Program for visual arts in South Carolina, or the Against The Grain Artistic Scholarship for Asian American students pursuing creative fields.
5. Websites/Apps: Platforms such as Appily regularly update their list of scholarships and can be customized to your profile and preferences, making it easier to find relevant scholarships.
Remember to start your scholarship search early, and don't limit yourself to only those scholarships that are highly related to your field of study. A scholarship is still a scholarship even if it's not directly related to art! Good luck with your search.
