Organized as a vehicle to perpetuate Anthony Quinn’s vision for an art conscious society, the Scholarship Program raises and distributes funds for arts education. The Program focuses on the Visual Arts & Design, Performing Arts, Media Arts, and Literary Arts for young adults in high school. Scholarship recipients can apply Foundation funds to any recognized pre-college, summer or after-school arts education program. Funds awarded will be sent directly to the pre-college, summer or after-school arts education program designated by the student. The Anthony Quinn Foundation Scholarship cannot be used for secondary school or college tuition.
The Scholarship Program is for young adults in high school who demonstrate exceptional talent and dedication with a strong commitment to personal artistic growth and who will benefit from financial support. Efforts will be made to distribute the funds evenly across the fields of focus: Visual Arts & Design, Performing Arts, Media Arts, and Literary Arts.
The Anthony Quinn Scholarship Program is by nomination only and is for young adults in high school for use towards a recognized pre-college, summer or after-school arts education program which emphasizes study in the following areas:
- Visual Arts & Design
- Performing Arts
- Media Arts
- Literary Arts
Scholarships range from $250 to $3,000. A nominator can be a teacher, advisor, or other adult mentor, but not a family member. To nominate a student, please fill out the Anthony Quinn Foundation Scholarship Nomination Form. Scholarships are awarded competitively. Nominations will be reviewed by a panel of judges in order to select scholarship recipients. Judges are practicing artists and arts educators, experts in the various fields of focus, completely independent from the Foundation’s Board/staff, and geographically dispersed throughout the United States. Additional information will be sought directly from the nominee if he or she is selected as a semi-finalist.
The deadline for nominations is November 15, 2011. Funds awarded must be expended by August 31, 2012.
