Montague Foods Arts Scholarship
and
Amber Rose Brown Memorial Scholarship
Download application and complete guidelines here.
The Nuveen Community Center for the Arts announces the return of the Montague
Foods Arts Scholarship for the third year running. A second scholarship competition—
the Amber Rose Brown Memorial Scholarship—will be held in conjunction with the
Montague Foods competition, resulting in $2250 scholarship dollars that will be
awarded to local teens.
Both competitions are open to any high school junior or senior residing in the
Whitehall or Montague school districts. Students must submit an original piece of
artwork along with a completed scholarship application by 5:00 p.m., March 16, 2012
to be eligible. Artwork will be on display at Montague Foods from March 21–May 7,
2012, during which time members of the public may vote for their favorite. These votes
will be the deciding factor in which students take home the Montague Foods Arts
Scholarships of $1000, $500, and $250.
A panel of judges will decide the winner of the Amber Rose Brown Memorial
Scholarship, a $500 college scholarship established this year by Deanna Cullen and
Larry Brown, parents of the late Amber Brown of Montague. The winning piece will
emphasize creativity and personal expression, two qualities embodied in Brown’s
award-winning artwork before she passed away in 2008 at the age of 20.
Each piece of artwork entered is eligible for both scholarships. Download application
and complete guidelines here. For more information, call the Nuveen Center at 231-
894-2787.
