Educational Efforts

In keeping with its mission to encourage artists, BWS has established a fund which awards a scholarship to a senior who is graduating from a Monroe County Community School Corporation (Indiana) high school.

See more information about how a student is selected for the award, the award details and the application requirements at Art Scholarship Information.
