Savannah, Georgia (PRWEB) June 04, 2014 -- The scholarship winners are selected by the schools’ art educators for outstanding commitment to academics and great artistic and creative potential. The awarded scholarships will enable students to attend the Averitt Center for the Arts Summer Arts Program.
“By helping to cultivate creativity in young people, Willingway hopes that students find many rewarding and enriching activities in life without the need for drug and alcohol use,” said Barbara Reid, CEO of Willingway. “The Willingway Youth Arts Scholarships were created to show and encourage students that there are many fulfilling paths in life, like the arts.”
