This year the Ojai Studio Artists (OSA) is awarding $10,000 in scholarships to Nordhoff High School students (juniors and seniors) enrolled in visual art classes.  Scholarship Committee members jury student artwork based on concept, technique, creativity and presentation through online applications. The Committee reviews written statements and images and selects students who continue to the second phase of jurying. In-person interviews are scheduled and each student will present their work to the Committee.

 

Please submit four of your current best works, preferably showing work in one or two media and that best represents your ideas. Good photography (presentation) is important! Feature the work (nothing extraneous) and consider focus, color, contrast, lighting, etc.). For instance, shoot the work with a white (neutral) background, centered, not distorted, and level in the photo.

 

The 2026 program will culminate with a reception and exhibition of student work at the Ojai Valley Museum,  dates:
