The EDMC Education Foundation: scholarship resources
The EDMC Education Foundation is a nonprofit tax-exempt
foundation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, dedicated to providing scholarships annually to students
attending schools owned by Education Management Corporation (EDMC).
The Art Institutes system of schools is owned by EDMC, and deserving Art Institutes students throughout the system
receive scholarships annually from this foundation’s Art Institutes Scholarship Fund.
The foundation is supported by contributions from multiple sources. To further its charitable mission, the foundation seeks
donations from foundations, companies, faculty, staff, friends and other diverse sources in order to retain the level of
scholarships distributed annually to students attending EDMC-owned schools.
Each school location has a Scholarship Committee that reviews student applications and submits recommendations.
The foundation’s Scholarship Committee then reviews the recommendations and awards scholarships on an objective and
nondiscriminatory basis. No family members of EDMC employees may qualify for scholarships.
The Art Institutes Scholarship Fund
The Art Institutes Scholarship Fund serves Art Institutes
locations in major cities across North America. As new Art Institute schools join the EDMC system, the Fund continues to grow,
with almost every school actively involved in scholarship fundraising events, publicity and donor relations.
Many business leaders sponsor scholarships and fund-raising events and competitions, and continue to express enthusiasm
about the quality of Art Institute student work. Since its founding in 2000, EDMC Education Foundation has raised money
for The Art Institutes Scholarship Fund to help deserving students in financial need.
