Now Accepting Applications for 2017 Student & Educator Scholarships

Sun Valley Center for the Arts is currently accepting applications for the 2017 Scholarship Program. The deadline for these scholarships is February 22, 2017. Blaine County students and educators who are interested in furthering their education in the arts and humanities are invited to apply at sunvalleycenter.org.

Comprised of four different scholarships, the program is made possible through funds raised at The Center’s Annual Wine Auction and private donations. Awards are based on artistic merit, application materials and financial need.

The Center offers scholarships in the following categories:

• For Educators: The Educator Scholarship is offered to educators in the Wood River Valley who work in public or private schools, teaching pre-K through 12th grade. Teachers can use scholarship funds to support formal professional development in visual arts, performing arts or humanities.
• For College Students: The Gay V. Weake Scholarship is offered to college students who major in the arts or humanities. These funds are to be used to cover tuition.
• For High School Students: The High School Arts and Humanities Scholarship is designed for Blaine County high school students currently enrolled in grades 9–12 looking to further their artistic pursuits in the visual arts, performing arts or humanities.
• For High School Juniors: The Ezra Pound Scholarship is given to a high school junior pursuing advanced study in the visual arts outside of the Wood River Valley during the summer before his or her senior year.

The Center’s Scholarship Committee reviews applications to determine recipients. The committee is an independent group, and members change yearly.
