Scholarship
We will be updating the information for the 2023 school year soon!
One of the priorities of the Waterville Area Art Society is to encourage local students in their art education. On February 4, 1993, the Society voted to give an annual scholarship to a local graduating senior displaying artistic talent toward pursuing further artistic study. The first scholarship awarded in May was for $100 and succeeding scholarships have been raised to $1,000.
