The Office of Cultural Education has availability of $168,000 in scholarship opportunities for middle and high school students to attend regional arts programs this summer. Students may apply to receive a scholarship by completing the online application before May 1st.
To be eligible to apply, students must be entering 6th – 12th grade in fall 2023, live in New York State, and select a New York State-based summer arts program including music, theatre, dance, creative writing, fine arts, design, and more. It is recommended that students confirm they have been accepted into a program prior to applying for a scholarship. Individual grants will range from $250 – $5,000 depending on financial need; grant amounts will pay up to 90 percent of the program cost. If more applications are received than available funding, scholarships will be awarded based on the greatest financial need.
