Devin Chase Vancil Art and Music Scholarship
Devin Chase Vancil was an avid lover of both art and music.
Creative modes of expression, such as music and the arts, allow us as humans to connect with others, share personal experiences, and inspire those around us.
All forms of creative expression add beauty and color to a world that often appears bleak in our day to day lives.
Art and music programs in US public schools are given less and less funding each year, with especially detrimental cuts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This scholarship supports the continuation of musical and artistic education and expression.
This scholarship is meant for a high school or undergraduate student with plans to major in either art or music.
Any high school or undergraduate student who is currently pursuing a major in art and/or music or plans to major in art and/or music, may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about yourself and why you think art and music are important to society. Then, submit a photo of your portfolio or a video of yourself playing music.
Tell us a bit about yourself. Why do you think art and/or music is important to society?
