Parsons Scholars Program is a 2+ year college preparation and access program that centers young artists of color who show financial need. Students receive artistic, academic, and financial support as they explore their individual interests in art and design. Using close mentorship models, the core of Parsons Scholars programming focuses on helping students from New York City high schools discover a multitude of ways in which art and design skills and creative/critical thinking effectively support and build communities, leverage social change, and can lead toward vibrant, creative futures.
When you choose to support Parsons Scholars, your gift will directly support a comprehensive scholarship for NYC high school students including:
- college-level art and design instruction with opportunity to earn college credits
- materials and supplies for all programming
- meals
- workshops and field trips to gain exposure to art and design fields
The New School’s legacy of engaging in critical contemporary issues prioritizing humanity and culture needs your support. Your gift can make a lasting impact by supporting this transformative program. Whether through a one-time donation, corporate sponsorship, or ongoing contribution, every gift directly impacts the lives of our scholars, allowing them to thrive in their design education and careers. Give today to support the designers of tomorrow.
