Through ArtLink, the NAA provides scholarships to local graduating seniors who are pursuing art, art education, and/or arts management in college. These scholarships are made possible with the support of the Biese Family, Emmerling Family, Hemphill Family Foundation, Arbeit-Cheney Charitable Fund, and many generous individuals and community partners.
The ArtLink scholarships are available to current seniors at Amesbury, Haverhill, Newburyport, Pentucket, and Triton High Schools, though some scholarships are restricted to certain schools. A list is provided below with more detail.
