Applicants are judged by a panel of professionals with a high level of expertise in college arts education and/or professional experience. Each artistic discipline is represented on the panel. Selection of scholarship winners is based on artistic excellence as demonstrated by the quality of the work samples and application submitted to the panel. Dedication and character is also considered. Each scholarship is paid directly to the student’s selected college/arts program to assist with tuition.
The Elaine Ehlers Arts Scholarship was established in 2002 in memory of Elaine Ehlers, a healthcare administrator by profession, who had a voracious appetite for all things artistic and musical. She derived intellectual and emotional sustenance from the arts and supported programs at many museums and musical institutions. By establishing this scholarship, an enduring legacy has been created to reward those who possess artistic talent and who plan to further their arts education.
