In Their Own Words …
As a sophomore studio art major at Bowling Green State University, Ohio, I plan to use the scholarship to pay for my many required and expensive art supplies. I am a strong believer in the power of the arts. Art is essential to the society because it touches every part of the world. To me art is important because it has been a source of comfort, a stress relief, and a representation of my friendships around the world.
