LAMBERTVILLE – Applications for the 2017 Shad Fest Art Scholarship, sponsored by the Delaware River Towns Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, are now being accepted.
The 2017 scholarship is open to any high school senior intending to pursue a degree in the arts who lives in the communities served by the chamber – Lambertville, New Hope, Stockton, Frenchtown, Milford, Titusville, Center Bridge, Lumberville, Point Pleasant and Washington Crossing.
“The communities served by the DRTCC have shown amazing support of each other while maintaining their own unique individuality,” said David Morgan, executive director of the chamber. “Each community represented benefits from the next and it only made sense to expand the financial benefits to young, artistic individuals looking to bring their own new uniqueness through art education to the communities we serve.”
Delaware River communities are being put front and center
In 2016, two students, Ilya Romashov and Lucas Ebeling, were awarded $10,000 each from the Shad Fest Scholarship Fund toward their prospective degrees in the arts.
“This scholarship not only helps to encourage and support the arts in this area, which has always been renowned as an eclectic and creative haven, but it provides an enormous financial assistance to families faced with the ever-increasing cost of higher education,” said Scholarship Committee Chairwoman Amy Lavery.
Applications can be found and submitted online.
Deadlines for submission is March 27, with finalist interviews to follow the week of April 3. For more information, contact the chamber at 609-397-0055.
