The Tisch Spring Future Artists Program is a pre-college program that is FREE of charge, open to all eligible students, and centered on educational opportunities in studying in the arts with the same rigor and training offered in the undergraduate departments. It is designed for students who may not have access to other programs in their schools and/or communities and who would qualify for financial aid at NYU.
This program is open to all interested first-years, sophomores, and juniors in high school. Students of all backgrounds are eligible for participation in this program; those from groups traditionally underrepresented in the media industry are encouraged to apply. Specific aspects of the arts are taught to develop each student's vision, including but not limited to providing a platform to spotlight topics and subject matter underrepresented in the various disciplines taught in the program.

Tisch School of the Arts was founded at NYU in 1965, and over the last 50 years has become the country’s preeminent center for the study of the performing, cinematic and emerging media arts. Artists and scholars come from around the world to study acting, dance, cinema studies, collaborative arts, design for stage and film, dramatic writing, film and television, game design, interactive media arts, interactive telecommunications, moving image archiving and preservation, musical theatre writing, performance studies, photography, public policy, and recorded music. Icons like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lady Gaga, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Bell, Joel Coen, and Adam Sandler attended Tisch, and alumni and faculty continue to be leading creative forces.
