A.I.M. Scholarship: Artists Inspiring Minds
Arts & Mental Health Awareness 

We aren’t given a perfect life, but we do have the tools and ingredients to create perfection, or perhaps, an imperfect perfection. 

​

Today, mental health awareness is incredibly important as it affects everyone, no matter where you may come from. Practicing awareness, mindfulness, and self-love is vital for an individual’s wellbeing and these things can be expressed in a variety of ways, one of which is through art. 

​

Through artistic creation, people are often able to express themselves in unique ways, oftentimes better than words ever could. 

​

The opportunities are limitless for creative expression, so the A.I.M Scholarship exists to support one student each year who is interested in pursuing a fine arts degree while also making a difference in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health within their own communities. 

​

All high school seniors and current undergraduate students with at least 2 years of volunteering experience are eligible.

​

To apply, please write about how you plan to make a difference in the world through your art, how mental health has influenced your beliefs, relationships, and aspirations, and how volunteering has shaped your life.

​

Please also submit 3-7 pictures of your art portfolio for review!

Selection Criteria:

Essay, Expression, Mental Health Awareness, Impact
