Biddeford Youth Arts Scholarship fund (a Heart of Biddeford 501(c)(3) initiative) strives to remove financial barriers for children and youth eager to explore arts enrichment opportunities. Scholarships support visual art, dance, theater, and music lessons. Scholarships will cover tuition for community-based arts education in Biddeford, Maine.

While Biddeford is experiencing a cultural renaissance, many families still face
economic challenges that make arts programming inaccessible. We believe that cost
shouldn't hinder creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. Yet, local arts
classes often require fees that are out of reach for many families. This program
ensures that all children-regardless of household income can benefit from the
confidence, skill-building, community connections, and personal fulfillment that arts
participation fosters. This scholarship program directly invests in Biddeford's next
generation of artists, performers, and creative thinkers, making the arts a real option
for every kid, not just those who can afford it.
