Kiwanis Carefree offers multiple Scholarships & Merit awards, the number of which in any category vary from year to year.

We also encourage local home-schooled, charter school and Cactus Shadows High School freshmen, sophomores and juniors who excel in the visual arts field to apply for an Art Enrichment Internship.

This internship has been created to encourage local home-schooled, charter school and Cactus Shadows High School freshmen, sophomores and juniors who excel in the visual arts field.  Funding for the program has been provided through the generosity of the Kiwanis Club of Carefree.

Up to eight students will be selected each year to take the course of their choice at the nationally renowned Scottsdale Artists’ School, located in downtown Scottsdale. Information about the School can be found on their website:  www.scottsdaleartschool.org

• Applicant must be a legal resident of Arizona, and reside within the Cave Creek Unified School District boundaries.
