Council offers scholarships for high school-aged artists

BERLIN–Worcester County Arts Council’s Student Scholarship award program is under way.  The Arts Council is offering $1,000 each art scholarships to graduating high school seniors, who are Worcester County residents, interested in pursuing academic careers in the arts. Scholarships are also available to college art majors wishing to continue their education in the arts.
The Worcester County Arts Council’s scholarship program is designed to identify, recognize and encourage talented students who demonstrate excellence in dance, music, theater, visual arts and creative writing.
This is a merit scholarship and award decisions are based on evaluation of talent, dedication and potential, not financial need. The winners will be awarded at their respective high school’s senior awards ceremonies.
Applications must be received by March 14, at the Worcester County Arts Council, 6 Jefferson Street, Berlin, Md. Applicants are judged on their visual, dramatic, creative writing or musical presentations in the form of DVD or CD.
Applications and scholarship guidelines are available at Worcester County high schools through the guidance offices and are also available at the Arts Council’s office and on www.worcestercountyartscouncil.org. For more information, call the Arts Council’s office at 410-641-0809.
