Scholarship: Hastings College - Jackson Scholars Program
Description: The Jackson Scholars Program at Hastings College is a groundbreaking opportunity for aspiring artists to hone their craft, earn a degree and launch their careers. This innovative program, housed within the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center (JDAC), one of the preeminent art centers in the Midwest, provides unparalleled support and mentorship to scholarship recipients. The scholarship covers 100 percent of tuition, general fees, room, and meals for four years, and also provides professional enrichment opportunities.
Selection Process:
Open Space: Current high school juniors are encouraged to apply to Open Space, a summer art immersion program hosted by Hastings College and the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center. Students selected to participate in Open Space will gain experience in five studios and interact with distinguished Hastings College art faculty, alumni, and guest artists. Open Space summer participants will be considered for the Jackson Scholars class in their senior year.
Juried Student Exhibition: current high school seniors and juniors are also eligible to apply to participate in “Emerging Visions,” a juried student exhibition to be held at Hastings College. High school seniors who would like to be considered for the Jackson Scholar program can indicate so on the application, and will have an interview opportunity during the show’s reception in December.
Independent Process: students who are unable to participate in Open Space or the student exhibition will be able to follow an independent application process.
