Jack Kent Cooke Young Artists Class of 2026
Congratulations to the new recipients of the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award. Young Artists will receive an award of up to $10,000 and have been accepted to From the Top’s Learning and Media Lab Fellowship, which culminates in an appearance on From the Top’s NPR broadcast/podcast.
For 20 years, From the Top and The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation have awarded more than $4.2 million to exceptional young musicians with financial need, helping to offset some of the expensive costs of studying classical music at a high level.
The remaining recipients of this season’s Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award will be announced in winter 2026.
The Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award program is currently accepting applications from pre-collegiate classical musicians through November 15th. This deadline is the last opportunity for seniors in high school to apply. Learn more and apply at fromthetop.org/apply.
