Dear Artists, Students, Teachers, Professors, Parents, Administrators, Friends,
In the short time leading up to the holiday break, please use the time to think about sending in your application for the WINSTON ART SCHOLARSHIP and the FRANK WRIGHT AWARDS IN ART 2022. $18,000, which is higher than last year, is available in Scholarships and Awards.
Attached you will find:
1. Information/Requirements for the WINSTON ART SCHOLARSHIPS/FRANK WRIGHT AWARDS which are open for artists between the ages of 16 and 22 years. Awards will be divided into two categories: 16-18 yrs and 19-22 years. If you fall outside that age range, but know someone who might be interested in applying, please forward this on to them.
Past winners of the National Winston Art Scholarship are eligible to apply as long as they are within the age range.
2. The Application Form for the Winston Art Scholarship/Frank Wright Award.
Please read both documents carefully before sending in your application.
3. Most likely, you fall into the Washington DC Metro catchment area, but if you are not based in either Washington DC, Maryland or Northern Virginia there may be another NSAL Chapter to which you can apply. If you go to college in this area, but your family home is elsewhere, you can apply to the Washington DC Chapter. See details on the Information/Requirements. If your area does not have an NSAL Chapter, you can also apply to the Washington DC Chapter.
Teachers and Professors - please share this information with your students as soon as possible.
