Jack Kent Cooke - Graduate Arts Award
Description
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation's Graduate Arts Award enables students or recent alumni with exceptional artistic or creative promise and significant financial need to pursue up to three years of study towards a graduate degree. The degree must be in the performing arts, visual arts, or creative writing at an accredited graduate institution in the US or abroad. Awards can be as much as $50,000 annually, providing funding for tuition, room and board, required fees, and books.
Recipients are chosen from a national pool, with approximately 200 nominees competing each year for approximately 10 awards.
Each college or university may nominate two students to be considered for this award.
