The Community Outreach Committee of the Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) is pleased to announce that applications for the 2025 ARTS Scholarships program are now live at ppacri.org/scholarships. This year, 60 to 80 Rhode Island students in the 6th – 8th grades will have the exciting opportunity to receive up to $600 in scholarship funding to enroll in and attend summer arts-related educational opportunities of their choosing.

Applications and supporting materials must be submitted through the ARTS Scholarships web page no later than 12P on Thursday, March 20. For more information, please contact Ricky Gresh at 401.574.3105 or email scholarships@ppacri.org

Eligible students must reside in Rhode Island and be in grades 6, 7 or 8, or the home school equivalent at the time of submitting their application. Applicants must be interested in the arts and demonstrate need, financial or otherwise.

Several recipients will receive special memorial Scholarships supported by the DePietro, O’Donnell, and Ragosta families to carry-on the artistic spirit of their loved ones.

The ARTS Scholarships program is one of PPAC’s Outreach and Engagement initiatives that engage students, educators and families with the arts. These Outreach and Engagement programs are generously supported by PPAC’s Annual Fund, attendees of PPAC’s Annual Gala, and community granting and funding organizations.

The ARTS Scholarships program is made possible by the generous support of the Textron Charitable Trust, Ocean State Charities Trust, and PPAC’s Annual Fund donors with support from WPRI 12.
