The Coming Up Taller Awards Program Seeks Nominations 


 

Dear Colleague:   

 

At a previous Coming Up Taller awards ceremony, Mrs. Laura Bush remarked
that "the arts and humanities are critical building blocks for a child's
development, and they provide a strong foundation for a lifetime of
learning... The study of the arts and humanities gives children the
chance to be extraordinary -- the power to be themselves."  

The President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) is
inviting nominations for the 2008 Coming Up Taller Awards. In
partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS),
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the National Endowment for
the Humanities (NEH),  we are embarking on  the eleventh year of the
Coming Up Taller Awards, which recognizes the accomplishments of
exceptional arts and humanities after-school and out-of-school programs.
Coming Up Taller finalists receive $10,000, an individualized plaque,
and an invitation to attend the Coming Up Taller Leadership Enhancement
Conference. 

Included with this announcement is a PDF of the 2008 nomination
application. We encourage you to share this PDF or link to the Coming Up
Taller website, www.cominguptaller.org, with your members. Please feel
free to post this announcement on websites, in newsletters and in other
forms of communication. The deadline for nominations is Thursday,
January 31, 2008.
