Polly Addison Art Scholarship
Every student should have the same opportunity to be able to achieve their goals, aspirations, passions, and dreams. Unfortunately, the playing field is not always equal, and many students don’t have access to the opportunities they need.
Polly Addison of Boulder, Colorado, was a beloved mother who gave her all to the arts and was an artist herself. She wanted to see artists of all kinds be able to reach their goals and not be hindered by obstacles, be they monetary or societal.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Polly Addison by supporting students who are interested in pursuing their artistic passions.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student in Colorado who is pursuing higher education in the arts may apply for this scholarship.
