A jury of ARTour members or collaborators will select the scholarships recipients. The three finalists will be informed by May 31, 2012 . However, they will receive the bursary only upon receipt by the ARTour Committee of a proof of payment of their 2012-2013 tuition fees.
The ARTour Committee also recommends that the scholarship recipients be available during the ARTour weekend on September 29 and 30, 2012. The deserving young artists will be matched with a participating artist and will be invited to exhibit their work on ARTour weekend and also have their artwork featured on the ARTour website.
