Summary
This scholarship is open to graduating high school seniors with a demonstrated interest in visual or literary arts. Applicants submit a small portfolio (a few images of work) and may be invited to an interview or follow‑up review. The scholarship cycle typically opens in early November and closes in early January.
Awards are tiered by level of distinction. In recent years, the top award (“Best of Show”) has been around $5,000. Other awards include “Excellence” levels (around $2,500), a literary arts award (around $1,800), and honorable mentions (around $1,000). In one year there has also been a special large scholarship (around $20,000) tied to a longstanding “20 Years” celebration of the program.
Funds may be used by recipients for post‑secondary education in arts or related fields (tuition, supplies, mentorship, or art programs). The program is entirely geared toward students, not organizations, businesses, or nonprofits.
In short, the opportunity gives promising high school artists in that community a chance to receive financial support and recognition as they pursue further studies in art or creative disciplines.
Organizations and individuals based in Texas who are engaged in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
