Scholarships and Programs
Arts plus your donation.
At Arts+, we know the impact of an arts education extends far beyond paint canvases and piano recitals. Arts education can transform lives, helping students tap into their artistic potential, plus develop the lifelong skills they need to succeed in other arenas of life, including critical thinking, problem solving, and perseverance. Of the 4,500 students we reach each year, roughly half receive their arts education for free or at a reduced rate.
When you donate to Arts+, you make it possible for students of all backgrounds to access outstanding arts education. Your donation adds up to so much more.
Financial Aid
Our financial aid program is designed to make sure everyone in the community has access to outstanding arts education, no matter their financial circumstance. Arts+ awards nearly $100,000 of financial aid annually to students.
Merit Scholarships
Arts+ offers a variety of scholarships for outstanding private lesson students. Merit scholarships are determined by external and independent professional musicians and music educators. If you would like to provide a scholarship for an outstanding student through either a multiyear annual contribution or a permanent endowment, please contact Stephanie Stenglein at 704.887.0298 or sstenglein@artsplus.org.
