Young Masters scholarship available to youth Texas artists
The Texas Commission on the
Arts (TCA) is now accepting appli-
cations for the 2008 class of the
Young Masters scholarship pro-
gram. The scholarships will help
promising young school-aged stu-
dents m Texas to excel in the arts.
The Young Masters Program will
provide exemplary arts students
in grades 8-12 with the financial
help they need to pursue advanced
study in the areas of visual arts, lit-
erature, music, theatre, dance and
media arts.
Only the most talented young
artists will receive the title of
Young Master and will be granted
$2,500 scholarships per year to
further their studies m their cho-
sen arts disciplines. All proposed
artistic training programs should
be completed during the period
of May 1, 2008 through Aug. 31,
2008.
Students are eligible to receive
the scholarship for up to three
years, but they must reapply annu-
ally. Young Masters scholarships
are not available for collegiate
study.
"'For the past six years, the
commission has seen impres-
sive artistic advancement among
our Young Masters who attended
such prestigious summer pro-
grams as the School of Visual
Arts in New York, the Chicago Art
Institute,. Julliard, the American
Dance Festival, Ann Reinking's
Broadway Theatre Project and
Tanglewood," said TCA Executive
Director Ricardo Hernandez. "We
are eager to give a fresh group of
young people this unprecedented
opportunity to achieve a mastery
that many artists only dream of
attaining."
All Texas students who are U.S.
citizens and who are participat-
ing m a school-based program,
a summer institute or a special-
ized course of study; or who are
receiving private lessons from a
qualified professional instructor
are encouraged to apply. In order
to be considered, students must
maintain passing grades in all aca-
demic areas, and it's important to
note that the applicants compete
against a standard of excellence,
not each other.
A brief narrative describing an
applicant's course of study and
detailing how the student will use
the scholarship to advance his/her
artistic abilities must accompany
all applications. A budget indicat-
ing anticipated expenditures will
also be required. Applicants must
also provide evidence of their pre-
vious efforts in the arts by submit-
ting a portfolio, a cassette tape,
videotape, slides or some other
representation of their creative
work.
Applications for the Young
Masters program may be obtained
by calling TCA at (512) 936-6563
or by visiting http://www.arts.state,
tx.us. All applications and support
documents must be postmarked by
Thursday, Nov. 15.
Students will be selected by
a citizen panel of experts from
across the state based on level of
potential, level of commitment and
quality of their proposed plan of
action. Notification of awards for
this fourth class of Young Masters
will begin in April 2008.
The Young Masters program was
created and is funded through the
efforts of the Texas Cultural Trust.
Young Masters scholarships were
made possible by generous contri-
butions from AT&T Foundation,
Anheuser-Busch Companies,
Applied Materials, Burlington
Northern, The Honorable David
Dewhurst, Emerson Electric, Mr.
Gene Jones, Mr. George Mitchell,
Plum Foundation, Ray C. Fish
Foundation, Raytheon, Ms. Sherry
Wachs, Texas Women for the Arts
and Mrs. W. D. Noel.
