SCHOLARSHIPS

Many state, statewide, and regional arts organizations are offering scholarships for this year's joint convention in an effort to give as many people as possible the opportunity to attend the largest arts and cultural policy conference of its kind. Most assistance is for the cost of registration and/or travel. If your local or state arts agency is among those listed, please call or e-mail the contact person for application information. Please make note that each organization requires its own application deadline.
