Eligibility

Lantos Activist Artist Scholarship, with an application deadline in February, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

The Activist Artist Scholarship was launched in 2020 with a grant from Bank of New Hampshire as an annual competition dedicated to the work of Activist Artists all over the world. Students are challenged to examine the influence of an Activist Artist's work on a particular human rights issue or create and submit their own Activist Art. The scholarship will be awarded to New Hampshire high school seniors with an interest in human rights and activism through the arts. For Category 1, applicants must submit an essay. Category 2, provides students with the opportunity to show the same influence and inspiration by submitting an original piece of art, music, dance, or written form of original work focused on a human rights issue. Rather than an essay, they will be required to submit a 250-500 word "museum plaque" explanation of their work. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
