MEDIAPOLIS FINE ARTS BOOSTERS
EXPLANATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOLARSHIP
The Mediapolis Fine Arts Boosters are committed to support the music, art and drama programs at Mediapolis Community Schools to the fullest extent possible so that they may continue their tradition of excellence.
One of the financial projects of the Mediapolis Fine Arts Boosters is to sponsor a $250.00 scholarship to two or three individuals. Following are the requirements to receive this scholarship.
1. You must be a graduating senior at Mediapolis High School who has participated in music, art, or drama for at least six semesters during your high school career.
2. You must plan to attend an institution of higher learning. This includes vocational school, technical school, or college.
3. You must complete the attached application, and return it to the Counseling Office by April 27.
The awarding of this Scholarship will be made by a selection committee of three Fine Arts Boosters established by the Mediapolis Fine Arts Boosters Core Committee. No Fine Arts Booster member with a graduating senior will be eligible to serve on the selection committee.
Your list of High School Fine Arts activities and leadership positions will be weighted equally with your essay on how the Fine Arts have affected you and how you intend to apply the Fine Arts in your future plans.
Please put your name on this sheet only. Your application will be given a number, and the attached three pages only will be given to the selection committee. Your name will not appear on the information given to them.
