LongHouse Scholarships

For the first time, the LongHouse Reserve is offering scholarships to high school seniors. Eligible students are those who have submitted work at least once during their high school years to the museum’s Student Annual or who have completed an internship at LongHouse and have “creative ambitions” in the arts, according to an announcement from the East Hampton institution.

LongHouse plans to award one $3,000 scholarship to a graduating senior attending a high school within the Town of East Hampton and one $3,000 scholarship to a senior graduating from a high school from the wider Long Island community. The museum will also award a $3,000 scholarship to a student in a post-college program pursuing graduate studies or other further educational opportunity.

The scholarship is “the manifestation of the mission of LongHouse Reserve: to encourage living with art in all its forms and to foster a creative life,” the museum said in its announcement.

Applications may be found at longhouse.org. Applicants must include an artist’s statement, two letters of recommendation, and a portfolio. Several finalists will be called in for an interview. Application materials may be hand delivered or sent by registered mail to LongHouse Reserve, 133 Hands Creek Road, East Hampton 11937. The deadline to apply is April 8.
