Visit your local university or art school. Whether you live in a small town or a metropolis like Los Angeles or New York, colleges and art schools offer art fellowships for qualified students. Ask the financial aid counselor or a member of the art department's faculty for details.

Search for resources that offer fellowship and scholarship lists and links. Check the student affairs link on your university's website for tips on applying for art fellowships. A general site like My Free Degree offers lists in various fields, including art, but may require registration.
