Michigan Arts and Culture Council and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Note: This award is for current full-time students.
The MAEA Memorial Art Educator scholarship was established as a result of many memorial contributions to the MAEA for scholarships upon the death of Ed Jacomo: outstanding Alma College art educator, recipient of the Governor's Arts Award for Education, a mentor to many, and a 'true disciple' of art education.
This scholarship is intended to aid college students who are pursuing art and art education. Part of our mission as a professional organization is to advocate for future art educators and help progress the study of art in the K-12 setting.
This scholarship could help you fund your future!
