Scholarships may be awarded to students who reside or attend school in Barry County. Students must be in grades 9-12 or, in the case of summer opportunities, entering grades 9-12 in the following school year.

Where
Proposed summer study must be at an accredited school, such as Interlochen or Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Eligible courses of study include visual arts, music, theater, creative writing, dance, sculpture, filmmaking, and more. Scholarship funds are not intended for private lessons or for the purchase of instruments or supplies. Study is not restricted to Michigan.

How much
Students may request up to seventy-five percent of the cost of the program, though the scholarship committee reserves the right to exceed that amount. Scholarships are competitive and limited.
