SCHOLARSHIP LIST SERVICE – FUNDS AWARDED HIGHLIGHTS
Through the Scholarship List Service (SLS), institutions from around the country earmark funds for YoungArts participants. Funding is distributed through scholarships, apprenticeships, and internships.
A sampling of recent awards made to YoungArts participants by institutions that participate in the SLS follows:
Maryland Institute College of Art
In 2006 the Maryland Institute College of Art enrolled Eloise Santa Maria (2006 Presidenial Scholar in Visual Arts). MICA reports that she is an outstanding student who is already making her mark at the school. Several other YoungArts winners in all categories from Level I to Merit Awardees also enrolled. These students received MICA scholarships designated as YoungArts awards. In total, students attending MICA in 2006 have been awarded $221,500 in Arts Recognition and Talent Search Scholarships.

Two 2006 YoungArts winners in Voice enrolled as freshmen at the Chicago College of Performing Arts: Tyler Hodges and Carlton Ford.
