OAEF/OAEA Scholarship 


​OAEA is a proud sponsor of the Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition.  The Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition (OGYAE) is a program of the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education and is in partnership with the Ohio Governor’s Office, Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, and the Ohio Arts Council.  The OGYAE offers students from across Ohio the opportunity to step into competition, raise their art abilities and gain confidence to reach personal goals.

The Ohio Art Education Association and the Ohio Art Education Foundation have partnered together to form a scholarship to be chosen from the top 300 of the Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition. The $700 scholarship may go to the college of their choice and their art teacher can win a $300 grant to enrich their art program.
