Background & Guidelines for Executing
The Alpha Rho Tau Art Scholarship was initiated in 2003 under the leadership of the civic art group’s president, Joey Frisillo. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance to deserving students who show promise of developing talents in the field of art and making future contributions to the art world. A student must demonstrate a need for financial assistance to be considered.
When sufficient funds are available, an award(s) will be made by Alpha Rho Tau (A.R.T.) to deserving student (s). Funding for the scholarship will come from within A.R.T. through membership participation in raffle opportunities at monthly meetings and from other sources designated by the group. Dollar value of the scholarship(s) may vary from year to year, and will be determined by the A.R.T. Board.
Scholarship applications created especially for this award will be available from the A.R.T. secretary and/or the Scholarship Chairperson, and through the art departments at participating schools, and at our web site alpharhotau.blogspot.com. A Scholarship Selection Committee, composed of designated A.R.T. Board Members, will review candidate applications and select an appropriate recipient(s) each November.
Deadline for receipt of applications shall be October 15th.
The chosen recipient will receive a letter as soon as decision has been reached to confirm his/her acceptance of the scholarship and its obligation. Recipients must understand that this is a one time scholarship award; funds for which may be used only for school tuition and/or art supplies.
The signed letter of acceptance must be returned to the A.R.T Scholarship Chairman by November 1.
Preference for recipient selection once was shown to applicants currently enrolled in art studies at the University of Tulsa, in recognition of Dr. Adah M. Robinson who founded Alpha Rho Tau on the TU campus in 1930 as a co-educational honorary art fraternity. This preference and connection no longer exist, and our selection of recipients is from an increasing number of students and schools.
Disbursement of applications now goes through several other institutions and on line at; alpharhotau.blogspot.com.
The 2015-16 Scholarship recipient will be our guest at the November 16 membership meeting, at Hardesty Library, where the scholarship award will be presented and 2 pieces of the award winner’s artwork will be shown. In addition to a cash award, the current recipient(s) will receive a 1 year membership to A.R.T. and the opportunity to present work in our 2016 shows.
Interaction with scholarship recipients at these events provides A.R.T. members the pleasure of offering encouragement to young artists and a feeling of having a part in the success of today’s students.
