Life may now seem turned upside down by the coronavirus and recent school closure and event cancellations but Alpine Artisans would like to encourage parents and high school seniors to think positive. We're beginning to see the light at the end of the 'Coronavirus pandemic tunnel' and Alpine Artisans (AAI) encourages parents and high school students to consider the grants and scholarships we offer.
Does your K-12 student want to attend lessons or a summer camp in music, drama or any of the arts? Are you a graduating senior who is interested in majoring or minoring in any aspect of the arts? AAI would like to help you!
Since 1995, AAI has awarded over 24 senior scholarships for a total of over $15,500 and 69 Youth Grants for a total of $12,685.
Youth Arts Grants: All K-12 students attending schools or home-schooled are eligible. Grants can be for art, drama, dance or music workshops, camps or lessons up to $300. Our website above offers local experts who provide lessons in the area! Applications are accepted throughout the school year.
Senior Scholarships: High school seniors graduating from Seeley-Swan High School and Lincoln High School and graduating home-schooled students residing in the Blackfoot or Seeley-Swan Valleys, or former graduates now attending an institution of higher education are eligible for a $500-$1,000 scholarship to contribute to their studies majoring or minoring in one of the arts at an institution of higher education. Applications are due April 18.
