[Ncabs] Foundation scholarship competition for creative young people

[Joe Orozco]

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has launched a new scholarship program 
to help
cultivate the next generation of great artists and writers 
with the establishment of the
Jack Kent Cooke Graduate Arts Award. The new award, worth up 
to $50,000 per
year, will recognize and reward the most promising 
up-and-coming artists and writers
from lower-income backgrounds.
 
The Graduate Arts Award will enable ten students with 
artistic and creative merit and
outstanding academic achievement to pursue a graduate degree 
in the fine arts,
performing arts, or creative writing. The award will provide 
funding for tuition, room
and board, required fees, and books, and is renewable for up 
to three years.
 
Students eligible for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Graduate 
Arts Award must be
nominated by their undergraduate institution by mid-February 
2011. For additional
