Scholarship Opportunities

Scholarships

Since 1983, the Oconomowoc Festival of the Arts has offered scholarships to young artists and musicians majoring in the fine arts. In fact, over the past 50 years, over $200,000 has been awarded in scholarships through this fund!

The Festival of the Arts awards scholarships to students who are pursuing a college major in visual or performance arts. It is our way of ensuring that future generations will continue our legacy of love for the world of fine arts. We are proud to be able to support these young artists and students in the pursuit of their artistic, academic, and career goals.

If you know of a student from the Oconomowoc area who intends to pursue a career in the arts, please encourage them to apply for an OFA Scholarship.

The deadline to apply for 2025 is Monday, May 3, 2025.
