At ARC, we view our scholarship program as one of the most important. In order for future generations to produce great art, we must not lose the accumulated knowledge of the last several centuries. At our ARC Approved™ atelier schools, we know these methods are still taught by some of the greatest artists alive today and the students who are the recipients of these scholarships will receive the training necessary to create great works of art and carry the knowledge to the next generation. The ARC Awards $30,000 a year to students attending ARC Approved Schools™ to aid with their continued education. Please donate to the ARC Scholarship Fund to help us reach our $30,000 yearly goal.

The ARC 2023 Scholarship Competition is devoted to supporting students whose works reflect the concept of traditional and contemporary realism. The ARC seeks examples of paintings and sculpture rendered from life and representative of nature as reflected in figurative studies and compositions, landscapes, still life, and portraiture; work that seeks to capture a fully recognizable likeness of the subject.
The 2nd ARC Scholarship Competition for 2001, the ARC Scholarship Fund distributes $6,000 in direct scholarships to aid students at ARC Approved™ art academy and atelier Schools. An additional $3,000 has been given in the form of a Purchase Award to one of the students attending an ARC Approved School™.
