Communicate with your fellow art students, see their recent work, and more!

Our college list is based upon those schools which have met the needs of our foundation in that they are located in the states of Washington or Alaska, can easily provide answers to our questions, and are easy to work with after scholarships have been awarded. Since we are a small Foundation, we have found that we simply do not have the staff to accommodate the enormous administrative burden of awarding scholarships to the larger universities and those universities which have procedures and policies contradictory to the needs of our scholarship program. The following colleges are fully approved for scholarships at this time.

Art Institute of Seattle

Cornish College of the Arts

Digipen Institute of Technology

Gonzaga University

Northwest College of Art

Seattle Pacific University

University of Alaska Fairbanks

University of Puget Sound

Walla Walla University

Western Washington University

Whitman College

Whitworth University


Don’t see your school on the list?

The above list represents schools that have been fully approved by the Foundation. We are aware that many schools, including community colleges and technical schools, offer degrees and/or certification in visual art. Too many, in fact, to include each one on our list of approved colleges.

However, if a student’s artwork is strong enough and they agree to take on the administrative portion of their scholarship, if awarded, they may apply for a scholarship under the college or technical school they are currently attending as long as the school and its art program are approved. The following are the minimum requirements that must be met: 1) The school must be located in the state of Washington or Alaska, 2) The school must offer a degree or certification in visual art, and 3) The school must issue grades so that a GPA can be calculated.

If you wish to apply, and your school does not appear on the above list, we recommend that you contact the Foundation to get your school and the art program pre-approved before completing this application.
