The Senior Project Grant Proposal is the capstone experience for all graduates of the Boston Arts Academy; the Project allows students to "give back" some of what they have gained as Arts Academy students. Seniors have designed projects that connect their art major with a community need and have written grant proposals to fund these projects. This experience is an opportunity for students to apply their knowledge and passion toward a practical cause, at once proving their graduation credentials and gaining experience as independent artists.

Students are reviewed by a Grant Review Committee will be comprised of artists, educators, and other supporters of the arts. The Committee makes recommendations for awarding grants for the most distinguished proposals.
