Scholarship Outreach Programs

SCHOLARSHIP/ COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMS  

In May 2011 the Prince William Art Society presented the IV Annual Jewell Pratt Burns Scholarship Awards of $1000 each to two extremely talented Prince William County High School art students:  Taylor Fox and Christopher Green

In 2007 it was decided that the Prince William Art Society would expand its goals to include raising money to award a scholarship to students within the Prince William County school system.

Members contributed original works of art to our first fundraiser in 2007,which produced a lovely art calendar. We had a good response and hence in the spring of 2008 our first 'Jewell Pratt Burns Scholarship’ was awarded to two high school students who were pursuing further education in the Arts.

Subsequently, in 2008 further art was donated and this fundraising effort produced fine quality note cards, suitable for framing. These note cards are currently being updated for 2011 and will be available for purchase again this year.

The community has been, and continues to be, supportive of our efforts to assist our next generation of artists. We met our goal of two $1,000 scholarships in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and in 2012 the Prince William Art Society will again offer two $1,000 scholarships to students who will be seeking degrees in the Fine Arts. The application is available on-line and should be consulted for information on the requirements and the deadline for entries.

 

In May 2010 the Prince William Art Society presented the III Annual Jewell Pratt Burns Scholarship Awards of $1000 each to two extremely talented Prince William County High School art students.  

 Our recipients were Sompaseth Chounlamany of Brentsville District High School and Kamille Jackson of Woodbridge High School.

Both students are continuing their art studies in college. Funds for the scholarships have been raised by profits from workshops and the sale of note cards made from members’ original art.
