5. Financial awards for arts and humanities programs

The deadline is January 31 for submitting applications to the 2008 Coming Up Taller awards, which award $10,000 to outstanding after-school, out-of-school, and summer arts and humanities programs for underserved children and youth. Recipients also receive an individualized plaque and an expense-paid invitation to the annual Coming Up Taller Leadership Enhancement Conference.

The program is sponsored by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

By honoring excellence in after-school, out-of-school, and summer arts and humanities programs, the Coming Up Taller awards promote a creative, engaged, skilled, and confident generation of young people. Eligible museums, libraries, performing arts organizations, universities, arts centers, community service organizations, schools, businesses, and government entities are encouraged to participate.

Nomination guidelines are included with the application.
