Scholarships
Opening doors to bright futures
Applications are now open for 2023!
Through the generosity of our donors, we have more than $1 million in scholarships available each year to students from 60 schools, available for high school seniors, college and nontraditional students, and K-12 art and music camps and lessons.
Our new Scholarship Portal makes it easy to manage your scholarship applications.
Getting Started in Two Easy Steps:
When you are ready to apply, you can click the Search For Scholarships button below to find scholarships by name, school, and type of scholarship. You can also view the eligibility criteria and see how to apply.
In a new tab or window, set up your login and profile page on the Scholarship Portal:
Note: Use an email you can access long term. Applicants should NOT use student school emails to register, as we send award information post-high school and college.
- Watch this video for help creating a scholarship account on our portal.
- For questions or technical help, email our Scholarship help team.
Deadlines are closer than you think.
