Coming Up Taller awards recognize and support outstanding after-school and

creativity of America's underserved young people, and to provide them with
new learning opportunities and chances to contribute to their communities.
The Coming Up Taller awards program is an initiative of the President's
Committee on the Arts and Humanities, the Institute of Museum and Library
Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment
for the Humanities.

humanities programs at many of the nation's libraries and museums, IMLS
encourages these institutions to apply for Coming Up Taller awards. By
honoring these programs, IMLS seeks to promote a creative, engaged, skilled,
and confident generation of young people.
