Harry Christian Cook and Blanche McLane Cook Art Scholarship

Grandview Library announces the availability of the Harry Christian Cook and Blanche McLane Cook Art Scholarship for 2012. To be eligible the applicant must be under 25 years of age and live within twenty statute miles of Grandview. Preference will be given to a high school senior in that area.

Those who are applying to or have been accepted by an approved post-secondary art program should apply now for the Cook Scholarship. A scholarship of at least $2,000.00 will be paid directly to the school where the recipient will "pursue academics in the field of art," and will be used for the purchase of books, tuition and supplies.

The successful applicant will "exhibit substantial accomplishment in the field of painting, drawing or other craft and show substantial promise of future accomplishment."

A portfolio of ten to twenty original pieces must be submitted before April 14, 2012, to Grandview Library, 500 W. Main Street, Grandview, WA 98930. To insure anonymity, all portfolios should be labeled as inconspicuously as possible. The work will be judged by Central Washington University art department faculty members, who are qualified to jury not only two-dimensional works but three-dimensional works as well.
