What: The UG Arts Scholarship is a merit-based grant for student artists; visual and performing (this includes studio art, photography, music, theater, dance, etc.) We are looking for innovative, talented applicants who demonstrate a strong passion for, and dedication to, the arts.

Details: We will be giving three separate scholarships ($250, $500, $1,000) to individuals selected based on their applications and interviews. As a winner, you will be required to use this money to complete a specific project that will be showcased in UG later this spring. The project can be artwork to be hung in the store, an in-store performance, or another idea you may have!
