Higher Education Scholarships
The Natomas Arts and Education Foundation scholarships are designed provide NCS students and students attending school within Sacramento County with assistance in funding their higher education. If you are an NCS student or attending a school in Sacramento County, you may be eligible for our scholarships. While part of the application is an art submission, it is not required that you major in an artistic discipline. We are more interested in the impact of art on you and your future endeavours, whatever your field of study may be. See eligibility information and application instructions below.
