Student Art Scholarship
Since 1986, the Marblehead Festival of
Arts has awarded a scholarship to a high school senior who resides
in or attends school in Marblehead, and who is pursuing higher education
in visual arts, performing arts, crafts, music, or drama. The Festival’s
objective is to encourage students interested in pursuing the arts
professionally to acquire a sound academic grounding in their chosen
fields. The criteria considered by the Festival’s Scholarship
Committee include financial need; academic achievements; art achievements;
art-related and other activities, both in and out of school; honors
and special citations received; and intended vocation.
The scholarship is awarded annually, and the winner is announced at
the Awards Ceremony held just before the summer Festival. In 1986,
the amount of the scholarship was $1,000. It was increased to $1,500
in 1997, and to $3,000 in 2001.
Co-chairpersons: Ron and Janet Lamkin
Committee Members: Peggy Farrell, Herb Goldberg, Mike Evers, Victoria French, Lynne DeVoe
The deadline to submit the 2014 Student Art Scholarship Application is April 9, 2014.
