National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts (NFAA) Eligible Students:
Graduating Seniors. For Additional Information:
www.ARTSawards.org
This organization encourages and recognizes artistic
excellence in all art forms among high school age artists. NFAA is also the
sole nominating agency to the White House for the annual designation of the
Presidential Scholars in the Arts. NFAA identifies the nation's 125 most
talented high school students in the performing, visual, and literary arts, and
makes opportunities for further study in the fine arts available through
interaction with professional artists, scholarships, and awards. The selection
process is solely based on talent and accomplishments and encompasses all art
forms, including voice; dance; classical, jazz, and popular music; theatre;
visual arts; film and video; photography; and writing. This program recognizes
all acceptable styles and categories with each of these disciplines.
NFAA receives 7-9,000 applications annually from students
across the nation. A rigorous evaluation process results in approximately 10%
of the applicant pool being selected for scholarships and awards. Ultimately,
125 students are brought each year to Miami as national ARTS Week finalists in
January for an all-expense paid week of master classes, showcase performances,
interdisciplinary activities, enrichment programs, and final adjudications.
ARTS winners share up to $300,000 in direct cash awards and in a total benefit
package valued at $800,000. An additional $3 million in college scholarship
opportunities are offered to all ARTS applicants.
NFAA ARTS winners are the only candidates eligible to receive
the White House designation of Presidential Scholar based on artistic
achievement. A pool of 50 nominees is selected from the group of 125 ARTS
finalists. From these, 20 ARTS winners are chosen for the distinction of being
named Presidential Scholars in the Arts. Each June, Presidential Scholars are
honored in Washington, D.C. by the President of the United States at a White
House ceremony where they each receive the coveted Presidential Medallion.
Additionally, the visual artists and writers are presented in an exhibit, and
the performing artists are presented in a showcase evening in the Kennedy
Center Concert Hall.
