Scholarships
Generous support from the Civil Society Institute and individuals like you contribute to the available financial aid for students in need of assistance.
Scholarships are based on financial need and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please indicate on your registration form if you would like to request a scholarship. To be considered, you will be asked to provide family financial information on the registration form (required).
If the scholarship amount awarded does not meet your financial needs and you do not plan to accept the award, please notify us in writing by emailing k12@massart.edu no later than 21 days (three weeks) prior to the start of the program.
Support
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to our scholarship fund today. Your generous support enables over 140 young artists and art-lovers who may not otherwise have access to the arts to participate in our programs each year.
