Scholarships

To be considered for scholarships, students must apply by the priority deadline of February 15. To apply, you will need to submit a copy of the most recent tax return of whoever claims you as a dependent, as well as a statement of intent.

A limited number of scholarships from $250-$1,400 are available. The number of awards we are able to allocate depends on available funding and the amount of scholarship applicants we receive. We do our best to allot as many scholarships as possible; however applying for a scholarship does not guarantee you will receive scholarship funding. Scholarships are distributed based on financial need and portfolio strength. 

Scholarships are independent of the FAFSA application and process.

Graffiti HeArt will be working with CIA to provide Pre-College scholarships, which will be awarded based on a review of portfolios and a determination of both merit and need. With the mission, “To Inspire Health and Art in the Community,” the local nonprofit focuses on promoting graffiti art and artists through community revitalization projects, funding art education and scholarships for underserved youth in our communities. 

For questions regarding scholarships, contact precollege@cia.edu.
