Wellington Art Society Opens Scholarship Application Process
for High School Seniors
The Wellington Art Society (WAS) has been supporting the advancement of art in the Palm Beach County community since 1981. In 2001 the Wellington Art Society Scholarship Program was established to provide scholarships to talented young artists living and attending school in Palm Beach County for art related expenses and college tuition costs. In 2018 the scholarship program added the opportunity for Florida Atlantic University (FAU) students to apply for a scholarship in their sophomore or junior year. Since 2001, the WAS is proud to have awarded over $100,000 to students within our community.
Applications for one or more awards of $1,500 scholarships in the 2022 year will open on January 10, 2022. Application deadline is March 18, 2022 at 11:59 pm. To be eligible, students must be starting their freshman year of college in 2022. Winners will be notified by April 11, 2022.
For consideration of a Wellington Art Society scholarship, students must apply via: www.CallForEntry.org. There is no charge to apply for a scholarship award.
Once registered, applicants should search for the Wellington Art Society Scholarship and complete the on-line application. Up to 6 images of the student’s 2D or 3D work may be uploaded in JPEG format only, with each image no smaller than 1920 pixels on the longest side. The resolution for each image must be 72 ppi/dpi (standard web resolution) and each file size must not exceed 5 MB. In addition, applicants must upload their unofficial high school transcript in a Microsoft Word or PDF file format.
