A Visual Art Scholarship is much more than a monetary
award. It is an indication of your abilities and promise. When noted on
your resume the term ‘Art Scholarship Recipient’ implies dedication,
discipline, responsibility and professionalism. That is the REAL value
of an Art Scholarship.

the scholarship is awarded.
