Grades -12
The College Board Award for Excellence and Innovation in the Arts celebrates the achievements of arts initiatives for students in grades 6–12 that promote learning and creativity in exemplary and innovative ways.
Awards will be given to model programs in three categories:
- Arts Integration: Recognizes initiatives that use an innovative approach to drawing connections between arts-based learning and other subjects.
- Equity Through Arts: Recognizes a program that uses the arts as a tool for increasing academic engagement among underserved students.
- Civic Engagement/Professional Partnerships: Recognizes a program that uses arts experiences as vehicles for engagement with local arts professionals and/or nonprofit organizations.
Within each of these three categories, one award in the amount of $5,000 will be given to winning schools to support the continuation and growth of their arts programs. Among the three winning schools, one will be named the national winner and will be awarded an additional $2,500.
The application deadline is April 4, 2014. Further details on award categories, full application instructions, and profiles of past winners can be found at artsaward.collegeboard.org.
