Bayli Lake Memorial Scholarship for Creative Excellence
Bayli Lake was a beloved daughter whose life was tragically cut short at the age of twenty-two by a hit-and-run driver.
Bayli was a dedicated and passionate student at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where she was pursuing her dreams of becoming an illustrator. She was creative, hard-working, artistic, and surely on her way to a bright future.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Bayli Lake by supporting students who share her passion for art.
Any first-generation undergraduate student who is pursuing art may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us when you feel the most creative and how you incorporate your identities into your work. Additionally, upload some examples of your artwork.
