Call for Youth Program Applications

The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services, invites applications for the 2011 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards, formerly the Coming Up Taller Awards.

Over the last 13 years, the Coming Up Taller Awards have recognized the accomplishments of exceptional arts and humanities after-school and out-of-school programs across the country. Its new name will serve to enhance recognition of the national significance of the award. Twelve programs will receive $10,000 and an invitation to accept their award from the President's Committee's Honorary Chairman, First Lady Michelle Obama, at a ceremony at the White House. The deadline to submit an application is January 31, 2011.
