MCAL 2026 Scholarship Awards

Each Year the Medina County Art League presents scholarships to local high school students to further their education.

In 2025, the MCAL was able to award $7500 to some deserving student artists.

This year, 2026, we again were able to increase the awards for a total of $10,000!

One of Medina County Art League’s goals is to provide educational opportunities for our members and for the community. We do so by hosting inexpensive and free to members workshops, but we really shine when it comes to giving out scholarships. These scholarships go out to Medina County graduating high school seniors who are furthering their education in an arts related field. Their work is always fabulous. See how all that hard earned scholarship fund is being spent.

Because of the hard work of the scholarship committee and members and the generosity of our community, in 2026 the MCAL was again able to raise the value of each scholarship by an additional 25% for the second year in a row!
