The Jack Ken Cook Award is a generous grant for graduate school tuition in the arts (awards can be as much as $50,000/year!). As a nominating institution, Lewis & Clark can nominate up to two students or alumni. If you have students or alumni applying to graduate school in Visual Arts, Dance, Theater, Creative Writing, this grant is for them! The first part of a two phase deadline is November 28th this year, so you can apply even if you haven’t firmed up your graduate school applications yet. The award provides funding for tuition, room and board, required fees, and books. 

At a minimum, each candidate for the Graduate Arts Award must have:
• Senior standing or have graduated from an accredited four-year US college or university within the past five years.
