$1,000 Scholarship -- WAS-H's New Community Outreach Program
Wilson Windle, Outreach Director, announces that as part of the Outreach Program of WAS-H, the Board of Directors has elected to provide an annual scholarship of $1,000 to an art student graduating from the High School for the Visual and Performing Arts (HSPVA) who has been accepted into a college art program. The art faculty of HSPVA will select three students appropriate to receive this scholarship. The students will then submit a one-page essay stating what art has meant to them and what their aspirations regarding art may be, along with their artist's vita and a portfolio of their work. Following review of the submitted materials, the Board will select the applicant to receive the scholarship. HSPVA will present this scholarship, in the form of a certificate, on behalf of WAS-h at the HSPVA Awards Ceremony scheduled May 22, 2008.
