The Northern Lakes Arts Association is proud to offer scholarships through our Youth Art Fund Scholarship initiative, ensuring that students and families facing financial challenges can access our diverse range of programs. This initiative reflects NLAA's commitment to making high-quality art education accessible and affordable. Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of need and merit.
Our scholarships cover either 50% or 100% of participation fees. However, please note that scholarship funds are limited, and meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee an award.
These scholarships are made possible by the generous support of NLAA's dedicated members and the local community. We invite you to support the arts by donating to our Youth Arts Fund—your contribution can make a profound difference in the lives of aspiring artists and their families.
Scholarship applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, but we recommend applying up to two months before the program starts to allow time for processing. Applications are reviewed confidentially by our Executive Artistic Director and considered during monthly board meetings.
