This $500 scholarship is offered to high school seniors attending either public or parochial school in Albion/Petersburg, Cedar Rapids, Elgin, Fullerton, Lindsay, Newman Grove, St. Edward and Spalding who have displayed excellence in music, art, speech/drama or creative writing. Students must be enrolled in a post-secondary institution with preference given to those majoring or minoring in some aspect of the Fine Arts or Fine Arts education. This scholarship is funded by the Arts Council’s endowment.
