I won a the Violet Helen Rich scholarship today for two drawings and for the I did for Sara.

Sara won the cognitive achievement award for art history!!

Description: The Violet Helen Rich Scholarship was established in 1986 in memory of Mrs. Rich by her husband, Theodore Rich. She received an art scholarship from the Rhode Island School of Design when she was 12. Throughout her life she expressed her creativity in both watercolor and oils for the joy of her family, friends and society. Her artistic talent won her many awards throughout the region. She moved to Terre Haute in 1943 and held her first exhibit in the area in 1944. It is hoped that her 61 years of sensitivity and creativity exhibited in the beauty of her watercolors and oils will be an inspiration for many young artists who will receive the endowed scholarship at Indiana State University to develop their own talents.

Open to: Undergraduate art student with painting emphasis and at least junior status.

Selection Criteria: The recipient shall be an art student at Indiana State University with a declared emphasis in painting, both oils and watercolors. The recipient shall be in good academic standing at the University and shall have achieved at least junior status at the University.
