Due to COVID-19, there is no scholarship for 2020.
About the scholarship
In 2012, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Art in Action we initiated an annual scholarship to encourage young artists in Burlington pursuing a post secondary education in the fine arts. We were able to offer 2 scholarships of $1000.00 each to two Burlington students. Every year since 2012 we’ve presented one Scholarship with a value between $1000.00 to a talented student.
Most of the scholarships are $1000.00 and will be awarded to the most deserving student at their high school’s commencement ceremonies. The student is invited to participate in the Burlington Studio Tour and will receive media attention.
Criteria
The student must graduate from a Burlington high school in the year of the tour and intend to pursue a future career in the Arts by studying at the post-secondary level in a fine arts focused program. The jurors look for originality, creativity, concept and execution.
Application Process
Each Burlington High School may nominate one student for this award. The student must complete an application form, include 4 to 5 digital images of their art, and be endorsed by the school’s Principal.
