Equitable Arts Education Enhancement Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Education to run a competitive grant program for minority-serving colleges and universities to support arts education. Schools would apply to the Secretary to receive grants. Schools that receive grants would use the money to increase racial minority access to arts education, such as through student financial aid, mentoring, paid internships, stipends for students training to be arts teachers, and caring for and exhibiting art collections. Schools would give special consideration to uses that directly benefit minority students, and the bill authorizes such sums as may be necessary.
