GLEN COVE, NY — The Hartford Art School has announced Phoebe George as one of the winners of their highly competitive scholarship competition wherein only two students out of 60 were awarded a four-year tuition scholarship, officials said in a news release.
Outstanding academic achievements have earned her this prestigious recognition, which is awarded annually to students demonstrating exemplary potential, according to officials.
Each year, the school invites accepted students with exceptional academic records to participate in the National Honors Scholarship Competition, and it awards university scholarships renewable for four years, contingent upon the recipient maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher.
The scholarship competition comprises three integral components: a thought-provoking
essay, a comprehensive interview with esteemed faculty members, and participation in an
enlightening scholarship program.
During the program, students have the opportunity to engage with current and prospective peers, fostering a dynamic and inclusive academic community.
Reflecting on her achievement, George expressed her excitement, stating, “I am over the
moon. It still doesn’t feel real. I’ll never forget my mom’s reaction when I told her. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of my family, friends, and teachers. Thank you all so much.”
George’s creative spirit and passion for storytelling hint at a promising future.
While she is leaning towards pursuing the Animation and Game Art major, her aspirations extend to writing and illustrating her own graphic novels, showcasing her diverse talents and boundless imagination.
