Attached you will find:
1. Information/Requirements for the WINSTON ART SCHOLARSHIP which is 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.

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 (same form) is attached.

3. Chapter List: 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.
