Art Scholarships & Grants

For students who wish to pursue a course of study in the arts, many scholarships and grant opportunities are available.

Scholarships and grants are available for the study of Fine Arts, Music, Dance, Performing Arts, Visual Arts and many other art forms.

To apply for the grants and scholarships listed, check the website or resource for the award and make note of the application requirements and deadlines for submission.

Difference Between Scholarships and Grants

Scholarships are usually always merit-based, which means the scholarship requires the applicant to compete in an application process, an essay contest or a performance competition. Grants, on the other hand, may be need-based or merit-based. Grants may also be based on a proposal for a project, good academic standing or other criteria.

Grants and scholarships are not loans so the recipient does not pay back the funds as long as they abide by the terms of the grant or scholarship. Violation of terms often means the recipient must pay back the funds.

Music Scholarships and Grants

Music scholarships and grants may be directed at a certain population or course of study. For example, some scholarships and grants are available only to individuals who live in a certain state. Other scholarships and grants target music education or pastoral music studies. Still other funding is based in the course of study, such as the study of classical music.

Music Scholarships

Music scholarships are available through many foundations and organizations. For those students seeking professional education in Music, several grants and scholarships are available.

    why do almost all of these scholarships require you to be in at least your first year of college? wouldn’t it make more sense to earn that money and save up in your senior year of high school? also, do you know of any fine arts or graphic design scholarships in Texas that a high school senior can apply for? thank you?

  14. Barb wrote:

    it seems to me that this is not a very good list of scholarships. I am a graphic design major, which is a very common degree program, and yet there is not a single one for design, in any form. Nor are there many scholarships for drawn art in ANY medium. this is just a list of various music and dance scholarships. Those are not the only forms of art. Also, there dont seem to be anything at all on the site for older students, single mothers, students who maintain high GPAs, or low-income scholarships. After two years of searching through many websites for scholarships to attend college, I have yet to find one that I qualify for in graphic design, and have instead had to take out loans to pay for school. I actually found this website after searching “student loans 2020 ” and I got this list of scholarships, and advice on how bad loans are. If loans are so bad, then you would think you would spend more time making a comprehensive list, or at least something that has at least one of each of several dozen categories.
