December 18, 2014, is always a normal date of the year but not for the Shoreline Arts Alliance.

We have many talented students here at Morgan. There’s an opportunity to receive $1,000 scholarships in each of these categories: Creative Writing, Dance, Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts. High school junior and senior performers, literates, and visual artists can submit their work to the Shoreline Arts Alliance.

Shoreline Arts Alliance Scholarships in the Arts is the only scholarship competition in Connecticut to recognize the exceptional talent of high school juniors and seniors living in Middlesex County.

Over the years, this program has grown and became a most important resource for high school students. There are specific Shoreline Arts Alliance Requirements for the auditions and portfolios for each of these categories available on their website. These requirements must be followed to win an award. Any student who has won a scholarship in the past may not apply in the same category.

If you choose to apply for this scholarship, the Shoreline Arts Alliance Application deadline is December 18, 2014. There is a $25 refundable application fee. Checks should be made payable to Shoreline Arts Alliance. This program is for serious juniors and seniors pursuing their passions in their art form.
