3 Scholarships for Artistic Students
Last week, we found some great competitions for artists. Today, we’re going to look at some scholarships that artistic students might also be interested in. Whether you’re a painter, photographer, musician, dancer, or other type of artist, there’s bound to be something for you.
Why should I apply for a scholarship?
If you’re looking at further study, there are lots of reasons you should consider applying for scholarships, including:
- Financial support – whether it’s a stipend for materials or to contribute to your fees, a bit of extra cash can help to relieve the pressure.
- Access to extra perks – some scholarships come with great bonuses too, such as access to exclusive events and travel opportunities.
- Career development – along with other bonuses, scholarships also sometimes offer access to mentoring and career opportunities.
Each year, there are always lots of scholarships that go unawarded because nobody applies. So even if you’re unsure, it’s always a good idea to apply – you never know what might happen!
