In addition to the annual Award honoring Artist Humanitarians, the Marian Anderson Award has two programs that focus on the ongoing development of young artists in Philadelphia and throughout the region:

Young Artist Study Grant Program

Serving financially challenged artists during their high school years.

Marian Anderson Prize for Emerging Classical Artists

Serving emerging classical singers who were born, reside or train in Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware. The Program is produced in partnership with Astral Artistic Services. Astral is a service organization based in Philadelphia that provides vital assistance to highly talented young artists who are beginning their professional careers.
