The Estevan Arts Council (EAC) handed out its yearly round of summer scholarships Monday that will help pay for students to attend camps in various artistic mediums.
“This has been a program that the arts council has offered for decades,” said Debbie Augey, vice-president of EAC.
“One of our goals at the Estevan Arts Council is to promote the arts in our community and to promote artistic development whether it is — music, art, theatre — of our residents and our young residents in particular.”
In order to receive the scholarships students had to fill out a application detailing their past experiences with their respective art forms, how much training they have and what their goals are for attending the camps they want to go to.
The scholarships range between $100 and $150 and are made possible by donations from MNP LLP, Beta Sigma Phi sorority and grants from the City of Estevan.
