The Allentown Art Festival is offering its annual scholarships for high school artists.
The deadline for this year’s scholarships is April 23.
Rita Harrington-Lippman, festival president, said the awards are offered for high school students across the eight counties in Western New York. There are eight scholarships available with each valuing $2,000.
These awards are available to students who graduate from a Western New York high school and major in visual arts at an accredited college.
The organization also has a returning student’s program for students who have previously applied for prior scholarships.
