Scholarships

The NCSFA awards scholarships each year to deserving North County seniors who intend to pursue degrees in the visual art fields.  Students must complete the application, meet the requirements and be interviewed by a selection committee. It is a one-time honor, and the rewards are determined by the success of our fund raising. If you are graduating from high school in 2010 from the Poway Unified School District or Scripps Ranch High School, please contact your school counselor or Art Department next spring for more information on how to apply.

Deadline for 2010 Seniors will be in the spring 2010: Flyers regarding the NCSFA scholarship program and scholarship applications will be sent to the following 6 PUSD High Schools: Rancho Bernardo, Poway, Westview, Scripps Ranch, Mt. Carmel and Abraxas.

2008 Scholarship Tea
A record $9,000
was raised by artist members of the North County Society for Fine Arts and their friends, who turned out 200 strong in support of the Scholarship Tea, an annual fundraiser to promote the funding of scholarships for talented high school seniors intending to continue art studies in college. The event, held at the beautiful Country Club of Rancho Bernardo was chaired by Jackie Steinmann, ably aided by Margaret North, Valerie Raymond, and Cindy Ponath.
The socializing, silent auction, boutique, and fashion show by Chico's were highlights of the afternoon, and brought in a record number of dollars to be awarded to graduates of area high schools. The warmth and enthusiasm was infectious and a sign that all attendees were having a wonderful time.
