Seniors who intend to pursue a higher degree in Visual Arts are encouraged to apply to The Westport Art Group annual scholarship. After over 50 years of generosity, the group has doubled the two scholarships to $3,000 each this year.
Students living in Westport, Dartmouth or Tiverton with good standings at Westport High School, Dartmouth High School, Tiverton High School, Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School, Bristol County Agricultural High School, or Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School are eligible.
Children or grandchildren of current Westport Art Group members can also apply for the scholarships.
In addition to high school transcripts, a letter of recommendation, essay, and application — a review of the applicant’s artwork is required. A portfolio review of the applicant’s artwork will take place during the spring.
The deadline to apply online is April 15 and applications must be submitted to info@westportartgroup.com. High school seniors can contact their guidance counselors for information and questions and can find out more details at www.westportartgroup.com.
