Applications for this year’s Young Artist Awards are due Friday, March 19. The Young Artist Awards is a unique opportunity for eligible students to earn summer scholarships and enables talented teenagers from low-income families to attend summer art and writing programs around the country, from the San Francisco Art Institute to New York’s School for Visual Arts and nearly two dozen programs between.To apply for the Young Artist Awards, students must meet the following criteria:
*have won a Gold Key (our highest regional honor)
*be currently enrolled in grades 7-11
*demonstrate financial need (under $40,000)
In order to earn this Award, students must complete a very short application that includes a few brief questions, a copy of the Gold Key-winning work, another piece of which they are proud, and a work-in-progress.
Young Artist Awards will be granted based on the quality and thoughtfulness of the application and the apparent readiness of the student to benefit from this experience. Teenagers who win Young Artist Awards have already demonstrated their talent in and commitment to their discipline by winning a Gold Key, and the scholarships they earn provide them with opportunities they may not otherwise have to study their discipline and meet other teens as committed to the arts as they are.
