College Scholarships and High School Visual Arts Awards
Each year, Allied Arts Association is proud to provide area high school art awards, a scholarship to a continuing art student at Columbia Basin College and a regional Master of Fine Arts level scholarship. Applications are accepted in the spring. Awards and scholarship winners are notified in April. The work of all student winners is shown in the Parkside Gallery throughout May each year. In May, 2012 Allied Arts will host an artist’s reception and presentation of awards and scholarships at the Parkside Gallery.
Prospectuses for competition for the high school award are sent to Mid-Columbia area high school art departments. High School seniors may also download the prospectus. Columbia Basin College scholarship recipients are chosen by the CBC Foundation, as part of their own broader competition.
The MFA prospectus is sent to universities in Washington, Oregon and Idaho and is also available online. Second year graduate students in an MFA program are eligible for this scholarship.
The 2012 MFA prospectus can be downloaded below.
Complete your application and return by March 2, 2012 to be considered for this $2500 scholarship.

| Allied Arts is proud to present annual awards and scholarships to college students and area high school students. We hope to add a scholarship for a bachelors degree candidate; the details and funding source for that scholarship have not been completed. Funding is the main hurdle facing us. If you would like to make a donation toward this scholarship, please send it to the Allied Arts Association, noting that it is for the proposed 4-year scholarship.
