SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION
The Poze Bazaar Foundation began with a mission to foster and serve the youth in our communities near and far. We believe that passion, skill, and dedication - not financial circumstances - should drive community access to the arts.
From workshops and lecture series to youth scholarship programs and exhibition opportunities, we continuously seek new ways to educate and inspire children and youth alike – while providing opportunities and outreach for those in need.
The Poze Bazaar Foundation F.A.M.E. Scholarship is an opportunity to earn a $1,500 scholarship toward enrollment at a college/university or training program. This scholarship is designed to identify and reward high school seniors who are artists, musicians, writers, performers, filmmakers, thinkers, and dreamers. Although, this opportunity is not limited to any particular major, we encourage study and learning across all disciplines. If you are passionate about empowering others and believing that art can have a global impact, we want to hear from you!
The application deadline is Sunday, April 30, 2023, at 11:59 pm. Poze Bazaar will not accept late applications, NO EXCEPTIONS!
Funds will be made available to the college/university or training program for the students' use at the beginning of the Summer and Fall 2023, or Spring 2024.
