Eligible uses of funds include a) taking classes, private lessons, attending summer programs, etc. in any arts-related field; or b) beginning, completing, or advancing any fine arts project, including projects in the musical, dramatic, visual, or written arts.

The grant is open to any high school student living in Meriden.
