Promoting art among local students

 is an important part of the Association’s purpose.

Conceived in 1968, our Scholarship Fund was established

For the purpose of giving financial assistance

To three graduating seniors.

These young artists may come from

Rome Free Academy, Rome Catholic School,

or the New York State School for the Deaf.

The applicants must have been accepted at and plan to attend

a school of art or a college with the personal focus

Being in the field of art.

Applicants’ portfolios are reviewed by

our Scholarship Committee.

Selections are based on these submissions and

the potentials observed.

At our June meeting,

the seniors present their portfolios to

the general membership

and receive certificates and voucher awards.

Once a recipient has completed the first semester

of advanced study

and has submitted a transcript to us,

the voucher will be redeemed.
