2026 Artist-in-Training Scholarship

2026 Artist-in-Training Scholarship

Application Form
There are a limited number of scholarships available for the Summer 2026 season. Applications will be accepted until 11:59 PM on Thursday, January 29th, 2026. Scholarships will be awarded by February 11th. Applicants will only be contacted if their student has been awarded a scholarship.

PLEASE NOTE: Camp Art Academy weeks or Teen Academy courses selling out before February 11th will NOT impact whether an applicant receives a scholarship or not, as the spots for scholarships are reserved. However, if certain Camp Art Academy weeks or Teen Academy courses fill and a student does not receive a scholarship, we cannot open any spots for the student to enroll in a filled week or course.

To be eligible for consideration, the student's household must be in financial need. All answers to this survey's questions will be carefully considered, but information provided in the "Financial Information" section will be weighed the highest.

An awarded student will only receive either a scholarship for one week (if applying for Camp Art Academy) or a scholarship for one course (if applying for Teen Academy) in Summer 2026.

A parent, legal guardian, or education professional (if they have access to the correct household information) must complete this application on behalf of the prospective student. If more than one child in a household is applying for a scholarship, a separate form must be completed for each child.

Supplies will be provided. The Art Academy of Cincinnati does not provide food services and students must bring their own snack and lunch from home. The Art Academy of Cincinnati does not provide transportation.

If you have any questions, please email engagement@artacademy.edu.
