The Flagler County Cultural Council (FC3) has partnered with the Flagler County Education Foundation to award five $5,000 scholarships this year to high school seniors who are planning careers in the arts.
Through a grant submitted by FC3, The John W. Kurtich Foundation has awarded the Education Foundation $50,000 for student scholarships, half to be distributed this year and the other half next year.
The John W. Kurtich Foundation honors the legacy of its namesake by awarding scholarships to students in artistic disciplines of music, theater, architecture, and visual arts, according to a press release. The Kurtich Foundation also funded “Winged Victory” placed in front of the Kim C. Hammond Justice Center on the public art Turtle Trail.
A check for $25,000 was presented to Education Executive Director Teresa Rizzo on March 27.
“Through relationships with other granting organizations such as the John W. Kurtich Foundation, financial resources for students seeking a career path in the arts are particularly important as they pursue their dream,” Nancy Crouch, co-chair of FC3, said. “Music, theater, dance, set design, architecture, digital media and the humanities all play an important role in our society and we are pleased to help provide some assistance.”
