Grant Overview
Mississippi's art education grant program is designed to address the need for positive outlets and skill development among at-risk youth. The program prioritizes programs that serve youth in rural areas, particularly those with high poverty rates. Mississippi's rural counties, which make up 90% of the state's land area, have high poverty rates and limited access to arts education. A 2019 survey found that 60% of Mississippi's rural youth reported a lack of access to arts education as a major challenge. The grant program addresses this need by providing funding for art education programs. Eligible applicants include Mississippi-based organizations and schools. Unlike neighboring states, Mississippi requires applicants to demonstrate a clear understanding of the needs of at-risk youth and a commitment to serving these youth. Mississippi's geographic anchor is its rural counties, where the majority of the state's land area is located. The state's economic anchor is its tourism industry, particularly the hospitality sector. Mississippi's infrastructure anchor is its network of community centers and public schools. Demographically, Mississippi has a diverse population with a mix of urban and rural communities.
