Arts for Life! Scholarship Program
Arts for Life! Scholarship Program
Former First Lady Columba Bush established in 1999 the Arts for Life! Scholarship Program, which is now administered by the Foundation for Excellence in Education. The program recognizes the exceptional talents of 25 high school seniors in a Florida public, private or home education school setting who demonstrate academic and artistic excellence in the visual arts, dance, music or theatre. Students interested in the program must complete an application, provide a sample of work and write an essay briefly explaining the influence of art and its role in their future. Each spring, scholarship recipients are recognized and awarded $1,000 during a reception hosted by Mrs. Bush in their honor.
