Scholarships for High School Seniors

St. Mary’s County Arts Council has established these awards to recognize, encourage, and support individuals who demonstrate excellence and a high level of interest in one or more artistic categories.

Scholarships of up to $1,000 per student are awarded to support applicants as they continue their education at higher levels of study at college and university levels. Dedicated art schools will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Artistic Categories:

•  Literary Arts (authors, journalists)

• Performing Arts (dance, musicians - instrumental and vocal, theater)

• Visual Arts (digital artists, graphic arts & design, illustrators, multi-media, painters, photographers)

Graduating seniors must be residents of St. Mary’s County. Students from any of the St. Mary’s County public or private schools may apply. Home-schooled students are also eligible.
