Music and Art Waikato Trust Scholarships

Background

To encourage increased skills and training in the arts sector, Arts Waikato has a scholarship fund to support people who are actively involved in their arts community.

Arts Waikato understands the difficulties facing individual artists in accessing financial support and assists study at tertiary level in all arts areas through annual scholarships. Scholarships are available to anyone living, or educated in the Greater Waikato.

Scholarships are awarded for tertiary study or continuing education in any area of the arts, including arts management, which will benefit an arts group or the wider arts community in the Waikato. We want to support people who are already contributing to community arts in their area.
