Recipients of scholarships are each eligible for up to $200 to off set the costs of a summer arts program. In previous years, scholarship recipients have attended a myriad of programs including those in fine art, drawing, painting, and pottery, as well as writing workshops, dance programs, and music seminars for instruction in voice and instrument. FOMA is a non-profit organization that serves as a booster club for the arts and arts education in the school. Founded in 1993, it has provided thousands of dollars and countless volunteer hours in support of creative and fine arts, organizers said. Each fall, generally at the October meeting of FOMA, the scholarship recipients present a brief program on their summer experience. Applications are available at the school. The deadline for applying is June 1. For more information on the program, call FOMA president, Ellen Tillapaugh, at 547-5646.
