Scholarships & Internships

Posted on 4/21/2024: 

Both of these scholarships will be offered next year, so something for 11th grade students to start looking at too.  And worth mentioning, the Lewis Butler Scholarship is also open to students who are already in college — so students entering as freshman, sophomore or juniors.  Deadline is this coming Sunday, so still some time!

Arts Education College Scholarship Opportunities

• Lewis B. Butler Scholarship — Deadline extended to April 7 — Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Design, City Planning, Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Ilustration or Animation.https://www.lewiswbutlerfoundation.org/

• 2DPTA Hopson Scholarship — Deadline is April 22 — Piano & Vocal https://sfpta.org/hopson-scholarship/

Also noteworthy.  The application for the CAPTA scholarships is now closed.  It’s a smaller scholarship, but it is most definitely worth applying for since very few students in 2nd District have typically applied.
