At Manifest Law, we believe in empowering exceptional talent in the arts. That’s why we are proud to offer a $1,000 annual scholarship to support students with extraordinary artistic ability.
Our Mission
Art has the power to inspire, connect, and transform. Many of our clients in the Extraordinary Ability visa category have gone on to achieve international recognition—but their journeys began with education and opportunity. Our founding partners know firsthand how critical access to resources can be in shaping a creative career.
Through this scholarship, we aim to remove financial barriers so that talented artists can focus on developing their craft, advancing their studies, and sharing their work with the world.
Empowering Future Creatives
The 2026 Extraordinary in the Arts Scholarship is designed to help promising artists at the beginning of their careers. Whether you are a painter, dancer, musician, filmmaker, designer, or creator in another artistic discipline, this program is meant to support your academic and creative journey.
We believe that extraordinary talent deserves extraordinary support. By investing in the next generation of artists, we hope to foster cultural exchange, creative innovation, and global artistic excellence.
