RISING ARTISTS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

Art Camp 504 is dedicated to providing high-quality art education to passionate young artists in New Orleans. Our Rising Artists Scholarship Program offers income-based financial aid for students ages 7–14, ensuring access to our programs for families in need. All information shared in the scholarship application is kept strictly confidential.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

We are currently accepting applications for Spring Break and Summer Camp. We have two separate applications - one for new students, and one for returning students. Scroll down to the following section to view further application instructions.

  • FEB 7: Deadline for submitting scholarship application

  • FEB 10: Scholarship awards announced

WAITLIST POLICY: If we still have scholarship spots available after Feb 10 we will open another round of applications. Every year we have more students apply than we are able to fund. Most awards are for one to three weeks of camp. If you do not receive an award, please add your name to the waitlist, so that we can notify you if a spot opens.

SCHOLARSHIP TIERS: The largest scholarships (50%–90% discounts) are awarded to students demonstrating the greatest financial need. To allow us to assist as many families as possible, please request only the percentage you need to attend.

BEHAVIOR AND ATTENDANCE: All of our students, including those receiving scholarships, are held to high behavior standards. Disruptive behavior or excessive absences may result in ineligibility for future scholarships.

sliding scale discounts

For families who do not meet the income requirements for the full scholarship program but still require financial assistance, we offer sliding-scale discounts:

  • 10% Discount: Use code SLIDING10% at checkout.

  • 25% Discount: Use code SLIDING25% at checkout.
