Apply Today for a 2010 Arts for Life! Scholarship

Dear Students, Educators and Friends of the Arts,

As a reminder, former First Lady Columba Bush and the Foundation for Excellence in Education recently launched the 2009-2010 Arts for Life! Scholarship Program. Annually, the Arts for Life! program recognizes 25 graduating high school seniors from across Florida for outstanding achievement in the arts. Each recipient receives a $1,000 cash scholarship toward their pursuit of the arts in higher education.

To be considered for an Arts for Life! Scholarship , students must:

• Be graduating high school seniors from a public, private or home education program in Florida in 2010.
• Submit a completed application, a brief essay explaining “How the arts have positively influenced my life” and a sample of work in creative writing, dance, drama, music or visual arts.

A committee of judges for each of the five disciplines, comprised of respected experts, reviews and scores the students’ essays and work samples. Each committee selects the top scoring applicants as recipients of an Arts for Life! scholarship. Winning seniors will be notified in the spring and invited to a special luncheon in their honor hosted by Jeb and Columba Bush. Recipients are invited to showcase their arts discipline through performance and exhibition during the event. As part of the program’s professional development program, the scholarship recipients will also meet renowned working artists who will provide invaluable advice for pursuing a career in the arts.

To apply for a 2009-2010 Arts for Life! scholarship, interested students should visit www.ExcelinEd.org for an official application and more information on additional requirements. Applications must be postmarked no later than February 1, 2010. If you have questions or would like further information, please contact the Foundation for Excellence in Education at (850) 391-4090.
