Scholarship Program
Cortland Arts Connect is introducing a scholarship program! We believe art is inclusive. Everyone deserves access to it.
​
Purpose: The Cortland Arts Connect Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to Cortland County residents who want to expand their creative growth/interest through participation in local visual and performing arts instruction.
​

apply by submitting an interest statement through cortlandartsconnect.org/scholarship or at the
recommendation of a teacher or mentor from a local organization (i.e. Cortland County school)
through cortlandartsconnect.org/scholarship. Consideration will be given to expressed interest in
the arts and financial need.
Guidelines: Scholarships will be awarded twice a year. Scholarship funds will go directly to the
business, organization, or individual that is offering the instruction. Individuals must commit to
attending the instruction in full.
Amount: The amount will vary, based on the cost of the instruction and will cover 100% of
instruction.
Deadline: October 1, 2023
