Searching for Art Scholarships
admin December 24th, 2008
Start a list…it might get big! Here is an example of organizations and groups, which often provide design and art scholarships:
1. University, College and School Art Departments
2. Professional Organizations
3. Civic Groups and Community
4. Your Employer, National Chains, and Local Businesses
5. Arts Competitions and Festivals
6. Charitable Foundations
The first step will be to determine as many of the probabilities as you may. It is suggested to begin with the phone book in order to phone in on the local numbers; you will wish to explore the Internet of course - but a dreadful amount of the local groups, which offer your best options of winning are not on the Web.
Next - begin a table, a spreadsheet or a chart with columns such as “Sponsor,” “Contact Name,” “Scholarship Name,” “Phone number,” “Requirements,” “Amount,” and (very significantly) “Deadline.”
Certainly, you wish to put your precious time into asking for the scholarships that best fit your aims… or the ones that you may make out to suit your ambitions. For now, although, put down all you find that is even close, and when you have made your list, you will be capable to take a good and hard observation at which opportunities are worth your efforts.
