GRANTS

The Allied Arts chooses its recipients with great care
The Allied Arts provides an active grant program assisting worthy and talented PRE-PROFESSIONAL artists and students with grants for travel expenses, program fees and coaching.
 
"All grants are made through letters of recommendation, timely applications and audio files. Visual artists and writers may submit a PDF instead of the audio file. Applications are rigorously evaluated three times a year by The Allied Arts Board for talent and potential contributions to the arts.  Any Colorado student/resident is eligible to apply for our grants."
 
The objective is to aid students of exceptional talent in one of the arts at the graduate or pre-professional level. Grants are awarded to those who seek to become professionals in their chosen fields.


  • A recipient may receive no more than two grants.
  • Grant recipients must not be older than 35.
  • The Allied Arts does not fund tuition, living expenses, or projects required by a degree-granting program.
  • Applicants for grants must submit the application as well as three letters of recommendation.
  • An incomplete application may be reconsidered at the next board meeting if all documents are complete.
