SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Anderson Ranch is dedicated to offering opportunities to promising artists and increasing access to our programs for a diverse group of participants. Applications for scholarship support are encouraged. Specific scholarships are funded by Ranch supporters, both individuals and foundations, either through endowed funds or special gifts. We are grateful for these important gifts. A complete list of supporters is available in our Annual Report. Applicants are encouraged to address the following points, since scholarship applications are reviewed based on:  • Artistic merit • Potential for artistic development through our programs • Diversity including age, geographic location, ethnic background • Financial need Most scholarship awards cover part or all of the tuition; the registration fee, studio fee, housing, meals, travel and supplies are the responsibility of the participant. There is targeted funding for graduating high school seniors, currentlyenrolled undergraduate and graduate students. You must check the appropriate box on the online application form in order to be considered.
