(Jan. 28, 2016) Worcester County Arts Council is offering one scholarship of at least $2,000 in memory of John Carroll Sisson III and additional scholarships of $1,000 each to qualified 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 15 at the Worcester County Arts Council, 6 Jefferson Street, Berlin. 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 the Worcester County high schools through the guidance offices and are also available at the Arts Council’s office and online at www.worcestercountyartscouncil.org.
