Full Scholarship Awards for New York Studio School Summer Marathons

May 8, 2021

The New York Studio School is pleased to offer two full scholarships for upcoming Drawing, Painting & Sculpture Marathons (In-Person and Virtual options) to BFA, BA, MFA and MA students, along with generous partial scholarships available to all applicants.

Rigorous and immersive, New York Studio School Marathons unfold over ten days, 9am – 6pm EST daily, and present an extensive range of artmaking strategies, comprehensive critiques, and inspirational discussions. Expansive firsthand discoveries propel artists to relate to drawing, painting and sculpture as direct methodologies for understanding one's experience in the world; the profound impact of which continues far beyond each Marathon’s conclusion.

Students who are interested in the full scholarship should include the following prompt in the scholarship essay portion of the Slideroom Marathon Application. “I am a xxx (BFA or…) student currently enrolled at (or recently graduated this year from) XXX College and am applying for the Full Scholarship Award 2021.”
