Q: I'm 18 years old. Should I apply as a fellow or as a student?
A: The AMF Institute is dedicated to discovering exceptionally gifted young artists. Although it is difficult to be considered for a fellowship, if you receive an unfavorable result as a fellowship applicant, your application may still be considered for a scholarship review or a placement in one of AMF Institute student programs.
