In all that we do, we work to find ways to touch the lives of our community with the arts through artistic expression.
Eccles Art Center scholarships are open to graduating high school seniors or undergraduate students, who intend to pursue further full-time education in any art-related field (including visual arts both 2D and 3D, digital art, photography, dance, music, writing, drama/theater, film/video, and design).
The scholarship will be reviewed in a case-by-case need.
Students must submit an online application through the Eccles Art Center website. The application must include examples of their best work in any form of art, a letter of recommendation from a teacher or faculty member, and a brief artist’s statement of why they should be considered for this scholarship.
Submissions will be reviewed quarterly throughout the year, and scholarships will be awarded by the beginning of each semester. Checks will be made out to the college of the applicant’s choice, and will be paid in the applicant’s name.
