How Spark Works

Students apply to the Spark Artistic Mentorship Program between February 15 and April 15, 2026

Scholarship recipients are chosen and notified of their award by May 1, 2026

Spark students meet virtually with the Board to discuss their artistic and training goals

The Board matches SparkSPARK students with working professionals for training and mentorship. The Spark scholarship dollars pay directly for student training.

In addition, Spark students meet 3-4 times throughout the school year with members of the Board to track progress.
