Scholarships will be presented by Jan Gmitter, Chair of the WAS Scholarship Committee.

Since its founding in 1981, the Wellington Art Society has been dedicated to supporting and promoting the arts in Palm Beach County. The WAS Scholarship Program, established in 2001, provides financial support to talented young artists pursuing college degrees in the visual arts. Over the past 24 years, WAS has awarded more than $135,000 in scholarships, helping local students become educators, illustrators, authors, curators, artistic directors, professional artists, and advocates for the arts.

The Scholarship Program is entirely funded by membership dues, community donations, artist exhibitions, municipal art shows, raffles, and commissions.
