Big Dreams? Big Talent? Big Scholarships!

The 2026 Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation
Art Student Scholarship Applications are open now

High school and college artists in the Edmonds community — this is your moment!

The Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation is now accepting applications for its Art Student Scholarships, designed to support creative students who plan to pursue visual arts in college. If you live within the Edmonds School District or attend Edmonds College, you’re eligible to apply. Previous recipients? You can apply for a renewal award, too.

These scholarships are fully endowed by the Foundation Board, with additional support from the Mummy Foundation — a powerful investment in the next generation of artists. Community members who wish to sponsor a scholarship award in their own name or in honor of someone special are encouraged to contact the Foundation’s scholarship committee chair.

“Visual Arts” means more than you might think!

The Foundation has expanded what qualifies as an arts-based degree to reflect today’s creative careers. You can apply if you are planning to study something like:

• Animation

• Studio Art

• Graphic Design

• Game Design

• UX/UI Design

• Photography

• Illustration

• Motion Graphics

• Digital Media Arts

• Videography

• Product Design

• Art Education

• Art Therapy

• Art History

• Painting or Sculpture

If your future is creative, this scholarship is for you.

With rising college costs, support for arts students has never been more important. The Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation is proud to continue its long-standing tradition of investing in young artists who are ready to level up their skills and turn passion into profession.

Apply Now!

The application is open now at: www.edmondsartsfestival.com/art-student-scholarships. Hurry, the deadline to apply is Sunday, April 10, 2026!

Get Featured! Get Celebrated!

Scholarship recipients will have their work showcased on the Foundation’s website and social media channels, so your art could be seen (and celebrated!) by the entire community. Award winners will also be honored at a special reception on June 3, 2026.

For students with talent, drive, and big creative goals, this could be the boost that makes all the difference.
