Art Society Accepting Scholarship Applications

The Wellington Art Society has opened its scholarship application process for the current year.

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 students to apply for a scholarship in their sophomore or junior year. Since 2001, the Wellington Art Society is proud to have awarded more than $100,000 to students within the community.

Applications are now open for one or more awards of $1,500 scholarships. The application deadline is March 18 at 11:59 p.m. To be eligible, students must be starting their freshman year of college in 2022. Winners will be notified by April 11.

For consideration of a Wellington Art Society scholarship, students must apply via www.callforentry.org. There is no charge to apply for a scholarship.

Once registered, applicants should search for the Wellington Art Society Scholarship and complete the online application. Up to six images of the student’s 2D or 3D work may be uploaded in JPEG format only, with each image no smaller than 1,920 pixels on the longest side. The resolution for each image must be 72 dpi (standard web resolution) and each file size must not exceed 5 megabytes. In addition, applicants must upload their unofficial high school transcript in a Microsoft Word or PDF file format.
