Scholarships

At 5-Town Friends of the Arts, we believe in investing in the future of our community by nurturing the next generation of artists. Our scholarships are designed to support local youth pursuing the arts after high school, recognizing their dedication, talent, and the potential they hold to enrich our community through their creative contributions.

Our scholarships are made possible through the generous donations of community members and our fundraising efforts, which reflect a shared commitment to the arts and their role in enhancing our lives.

College Arts Scholarship

A third scholarship supports students continuing their arts education in college.

Any amount is helpful - as a school-age scholarship winner myself, I can attest to what an impact this form of recognition and support can make in a young artist's life.
