SCHOLARSHIPS
The Sainte Genevieve Art Guild offers an annual $500 scholarship to an eligible graduating senior from either Ste. Genevieve High School, Valle High School or home schooled seniors. The Bette Geraghty Memorial Scholarship is named after a beloved founder of the Art Guild. The applicant must declare art as their minor or major area of study (new requirement as of 2015). The award check is payable to the graduate's school and forwarded to the college or art school of choice.
Portfolio Guidelines:
Due Date: To be announced
Number of artworks: Minimum ten (10); Maximum fifteen (15)
Preparation of artworks: Artwork on canvas/board need not be framed. Artworks on paper must be matted or mounted on poster board or mat board (to protect artwork - not necessary to have mounted by a professional). Three-dimensional work must be individually labeled and packed for transportation. Dirty, scuffed or poorly presented work will not be considered (neatness of portfolio is a consideration).
Letter of Recommendation: From Art Instructor or Art Teacher
Statement: Write a short statement that includes the following: college you plan to attend, course of study you will pursue and why, and artistic area of interest.
Portfolio Label: The portfolio label must include your name, address, phone number, high school, and art teacher's name.
The 2020-2021 recipient of the Bette Geraghty Memorial Scholarship was Ellie Naeger of Ste. Genevieve High School. The award was presented by Juanita Wyman (at left), chairperson of the Scholarship Committee.
