SCHOLARSHIPS​

The Decorative Arts Center of Ohio offers an array of art classes throughout the year; all taught by professional artists or certified art teachers. The classes take place at the Center in the fully equipped Wendel Center for Art Education.

To ensure that every student has access to art classes, DACO provides scholarships. To receive an art scholarship, students must be recommended by their teacher or a school administrator and must reside in Fairfield County, Ohio. Scholarships are awarded to students who are financially disadvantaged, have been identified as superior cognitively gifted, gifted in the arts, high-achieving, have special needs, or apply for a general scholarship. Scholarship students receive three classes per trimester.
