$10,000 Young Artist Award
For pre-collegiate musicians ages 8-18
Today’s featured scholarship is the $10,000 Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award. Here are the details you need to know:
Eligibility:
You are eligible if you are: classical instrumentalists, vocalists, and composers (ages 8–18) who are full-time elementary, middle, or high school students, and have not yet entered college.
The Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award is a need-based award. Applicants must provide evidence of a family income unable to meet the costs of his/her musical pursuits (new instruments, music lessons, summer festival tuition, and travel, etc.). 90% of their past recipients come from families with an annual household Adjusted Gross Income of under $60,000. While we do consider extenuating circumstances such as cost of living, medical expenses, dependents, etc., they do not encourage applicants with an annual household Adjusted Gross Income of over $100,000 to apply.
PLEASE NOTE: If your most recent tax return reflects something different from what your current employment situation projects, please include a detailed statement within the “Special Financial Circumstances” section at the end of the online application.
How To Apply:
At least two unedited, un-enhanced video or audio samples of your music for upload into the application portal
Contact information for two teachers (an academic teacher and a music teacher) who are willing to write you recommendations. They will receive further instructions and forms after you’ve submitted your online application.
A copy of your family’s most recent tax forms (including all schedules, attachments, and W2 forms), and a copy of your recent academic transcripts
Deadline: September 1, 2025
