Student Arts Scholarship

The purpose of the TMM Arts Scholarship Program is to provide talented and passionate students with the opportunity to further their education in the arts by offering financial support for their creative pursuits. This program is designed to recognize and nurture the artistic potential of students, particularly those from underrepresented or low-income backgrounds, and help them pursue higher education or specialized training in the arts.

The TMM Arts Scholarship supports two (2) graduating high school seniors pursuing degrees in the visual or performing arts. The scholarship aims to support financial burdens for students who wish to continue their artistic education after high school, whether through college, art school, or other technical career programs.
