The Surry Arts Council is accepting applications for the 2010-2011 Scholarship Program. Scholarships are available for college bound, college students, and artists who are pursuing a degree or continuing education in music, drama, dance, television/film/communications, visual arts, commercial art, arts administration or other arts-related fields.

The Hal Brownfield Scholarship is earmarked for “product design.” A limited number of scholarships are also available for middle and high school students who will be attending a summer arts camp or workshop.

All scholarship recipients must be Surry County residents.

Funds for the Surry Arts Council Scholarship program come from the Mildred Robertson Endowment, the Sandy Beam Scholarship Endowment Fund, the Kester Sink Birthday Endowment Fund, the Hal Brownfield Scholarship Fund and the Gilmer-Smith Foundation.
