This is open to homeschooled students. If you have one of those
students who plans a career in art, this might be useful for you.

Every two years, the Texas Commission on the Arts awards the Young Masters Scholarship to talented 8th through 12th grade Texas students.

This program is not a college scholarship, but instead it is a unique
program offering Texas students advanced arts training so that when they apply for college programs or art schools they will have an extra competitive edge. It is the hope of the Texas Commission on the Arts that each Young Master will be a professional artist one day.

All of the details about the Young Masters program can be found at

pertinent info on how to apply. (You may have to copy and paste the address into your browser.)

The application deadline this year is postmarked by Nov. 15, 2007 and the next deadline is in 2 years (this program is open every other year).
