Telluride Painting School Merit Scholarships

The deadline has passed, applicants will be notified of our decisions by July 1st!

As of 2016, the Telluride Painting School will award up to 12 merit scholarships each fall. These scholarships are for students who demonstrate exceptional levels of skill, conceptual capabilities, and commitment to their craft, as well as financial need. TPS Merit Scholarships may cover up to the full tuition cost of a class, plus any studio or model fees; they do not cover materials, which are the responsibility of each student. TPS Merit Scholarships are financial awards that do not need to be repaid.

Prospective TPS fall students may apply for Merit Scholarship funding for one two-week Telluride Painting School class within a full, six-week season. For fall 2016, the Telluride Painting School features visiting artists Ying Li, John Goodrich and Ron Milewicz, each of whom will teach a two-week painting intensive focused on observation, nature and the human figure.

Merit Scholarship applicants will be considered and awarded by a Scholarship Board in cooperation with the Director of the Telluride Painting School.
