About the Anthony Quinn Scholarship Program

Anthony Quinn was an Academy Award-winning actor who appeared in more than 150 films, and was a talented sculptor and painter. The Anthony Quinn Foundation was established to perpetuate his work and his vision of opportunities for young artists to develop their craft. The Anthony Quinn Foundation Scholarship Program provides funds for arts education to high school students who demonstrate a strong commitment to personal artistic growth, exceptional talent, dedication and focus.

Criteria

The Anthony Quinn Foundation Scholarship Program is a competitive program for high school students seeking funding to attend summer intensive arts programs. Applicants must demonstrate exceptional talent, dedication and a strong commitment to personal artistic growth. The areas of focus are:

  • Literary Arts
  • Media Arts: Animation, Anime, Film
  • Performing Arts: Dance, Instrumental, Singing,Theatre
  • Visual Arts: Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Graphics Design, Photography

The Foundation makes an effort to distribute the funds equitably across artistic disciplines. Funds may be applied to any recognized pre-college, or summer intensive arts education program, however, the program must be identified by the student on the application and once awarded, funding is sent directly to the program the student will be attending.

The Anthony Quinn Foundation Scholarship cannot be used for currently attended programs, previously attended programs, private instruction, secondary school, college tuition, or travel expenses. Summer programs vary in costs. The maximum scholarship award is $3,000. While some programs cost less than $3,000, many exceed that cost. In that event, students may need to seek additional funding from other sources.

Scholarships are awarded competitively, and all applications are reviewed by a panel of judges who are practicing artists, arts educators, and experts in the various fields of focus. Judges are completely independent from the Foundation’s board and staff.
