The SITE Scholars Program is a SITE initiative to honor college and graduate level creative students in our community. Founded with the goal to increase student participation in the museum and contemporary art world, this program enables students to enrich their educational experience. Comprising top students from the University of New Mexico, the Institute of American Indian Arts, the Santa Fe Community College, St John’s College, Highlands University, and Central New Mexico Community College, these nominated students are recognized by SITE Santa Fe as high achieving leaders within their schools, and are invited to exhibit their work in an annual art exhibition in SITElab. The students selected for the SITE Scholar program are offered special professional networking opportunities over and above SITE’s existing student programs in the community. Additionally, the students receive a SITE membership card that provides free access to SITE’s programs as well as membership in the North American Reciprocal Museum Program and the Modern/Contemporary Membership program, both of which offer complimentary admission to most art museums nationwide.
