Scholarship applications are accepted and reviewed throughout the year and are awarded based on availability. Make sure to include ALL items required.

Be sure to add alternate choices, as quick turnaround scholarships do sometimes become available- if you are open to other workshops/classes other than your first three choices listed, please be sure to note these on your application or in the comments section online. Should an opening  become available in one of those programs, you will be considered. Scottsdale Artists’ School is able to award scholarships thanks to the generosity of donors and sponsors.

SAS offers two types of Adult Scholarships. The ABSOLUTE BEGINNER SCHOLARSHIP is for artists who are in the very beginning stages of their art education. The Regular ADULT SCHOLARSHIP is open to any level of student and is based on financial need or merit.
