IA Scholarships

Imagining America is a consortium of more than 80 colleges and universities united by one mission: to create campus-community partnerships through the arts and humanities. The Forward Thinking Museum announces its newly established joint-venture with Imagining America to create a nationally-recognized scholarship program for young artists.

As a first step, we offered $2,500 scholarships to ten IA colleges who have launched programs in photography to area high school students. Each institution will award the $2,500 to a senior preparing to pursue post-secondary education in photography or media arts. The recipients are:

California Institute of the Arts
Columbia College
Columbia University
Hampshire College
Maryland Institute College of Art
New York University
Ohio State University
Syracuse University
University of Wisconsin
Wesleyan University
