I’ve always believed that one of the reasons it’s so wonderful to live in New Jersey is that for a tiny state, we have a wide range of cultural advantages. And there’s no shortage of art appreciation here in New Jersey.

I’ve often written about Monmouth Arts and their wonderful contribution to the New Jersey arts scene and so I’m excited to announce this wonderful opportunity. Monmouth Arts is now offering three scholarships, each one worth $1,000, through their emerging artist scholarship program.

So here’s the story: Monmouth County high school seniors, if you’re passionate about the arts and planning to pursue them in college, this is your chance.

Here’s what they’re offering:

• Performing Arts Scholarship: For students into dance, music, theater, or anything performance-related. 
• Literary Arts Scholarship: For those who love writing, poetry, or journalism. 
• Victoria J. Snoy Memorial Scholarship: For students interested in fashion, film, photography, or visual arts.
