Scholarships have a long history at the Art Students League. Since our founding nearly 150 years ago, the League has been committed to keeping tuition affordable for anyone who wishes to pursue a fine arts education, and to that end, we subsidize tuition for all our students.

In addition, we offer numerous grants for League students, and scholarships that have historically been available only to League students, but which this year are now open to all. These are merit-based opportunities that support full-time study, international travel, or special projects, and are awarded based on the strength of each student’s work. Past recipients of League scholarships have gone on to have major careers, including Norman Rockwell, Cy Twombly, Lee Bontecou, George Morrison, James Rosenquist, Joyce Pensato, and Tshabalala Self. These 2023 winners are in very good company.

Special thanks go to this year’s illustrious judges: Marc Dennis, Samantha Friedman, Caroline L. Gillaspie, Melissa Ho, Michael Joo, Ryan McGinness, Bill Saylor, Amy Smith Stewart, and Christina Weyl.

Application information for the next Grants and Scholarships Competition will be announced in January 2024. To learn more, visit the Art Students League’s Grants and Scholarships page.
