    Congratulations to all!!! That is awesome you get all that great stuff to help further your education (hopefully in the arts).

    Congrats to the winners! Can anyone explain what a book scholarship entails? William is there any way to find out how these scholarships are competed for or awarded? I see each school was awarded 10 scholarships but each have diferent numbers won in very different categories for each. For example every one of these schools has a great orchestra program but only one school included that category. Then you have a school giving an award in debate. Debate is not a creative art, and certainly any kid that was a member of the state championship debate team has a chance at appropriate scholarships that they don’t have to take them away from the arts.
