Dear All,
I am writing on behalf of some artist friends from Port au Prince, Haiti. They were enquiring about any scholarship, or other funding opportunities they could apply for from Haiti to support further study (they said it doesn't matter the location of the study).
Unfortunaely I didn't really know where to start, but having seen a few different funds mentioned in some previous Carribbean studies emails, I thought perhaps it would be worth checking here to se if anyone had any advise i could pass on. These artists are from the Grand Rue area in Port of Prince, a rather poor area in the city. They are mostly educated only to high school level, but tend to have done a few short courses at the Centre d'Art in Port au Prince, because of this I assume they wouldn't be eligible to most of the postgraduate funds I've seen, but I was hoping perhaps there would be a few appropriate avenues I might be able to direct them to. I wonder if anyone had some more useful advise I could pass on?
Any advice that could be provided would be greatly appreciated I am sure.
Kind Regards,
Rachael Minott
