Art Scholarship Fund

The Art Scholarship was established by an anonymous donor in Isabella County to support local graduating seniors pursuing a degree in Art or Art History. The scholarship aims to reward local students who have displayed a love and passion for art in the past and who plan to follow that passion as a career path after high school.
