Wellington Art Society Opens Application Process for College Art Scholarship
The Wellington Art Society (WAS) has been supporting the advancement of art in the Palm Beach County community since 1981. In 2001 the Wellington Art Society Scholarship Program was established to provide scholarships to talented young artists living and attending school in Palm Beach County for art related expenses and college tuition costs. In 2018 the scholarship program added the opportunity for Florida Atlantic University (FAU) students to apply for a scholarship in their Sophomore or Junior year. Since 2001, the WAS is proud to have awarded over $100,000 to students within our community.
Applications for multiple awards of $1,500 scholarships in the 2021 year will open on January 12 and close on March 19. Winners will be notified by April 6 with presentation (in person or virtually) taking place May 12.
For consideration of a Wellington Art Society scholarship, students must apply via: www.CallForEntry.org and register on-line. There is no charge to register.
