Scholars

Looking for Qualified Scholars

Do you want to help bring the arts to life for youth, gain valuable experience and earn scholarship money? If your answer is “yes,” then we invite you to apply to be an ArtsBridge Scholar!

Job of a Scholar     

ArtsBridge Scholars are outstanding University of Colorado students who conduct visual and performing arts workshops and develop projects in area public schools. We are looking for a variety of scholars to teach drawing, painting, photography, acting, singing, dance, film making, web design and more.

Each scholar will be matched with a mentor (who is either a university faculty member or past ArtsBridge Scholar) and a public school classroom project. With guidance from the mentor, the scholar will collaborate with the classroom teacher to develop and carry out arts lessons during the acedemic semester. These lessons give students in public schools hands-on experience with the arts that otherwise they might not have.
 
Eligibility     

Scholars will receive cash awards for their efforts. Money will be paid twice during the semester, once halfway through and again upon completion of the project.

All current undergraduate or graduate students majoring in the arts who meet the following requirements are eligible:
* Have a minimum 3.0 GPA.
* Be a registered University of Colorado student.
* Be able to commit 16-24 hours of classroom (plus preparation time) over the course of an entire semester.
Applicants are also evaluated on enthusiasm, prior teaching experience, and planning skills.
