Cash Ryder Lanspeary Art Scholarship
Cash Ryder Lanspeary was a beloved grandson who passed away in July of 2025 at the age of just twelve after a year-long battle with leukemia.
Cash was passionate about drawing and had hoped to pursue a career in the arts. He also had a deep love for dinosaurs and could name countless species, often sharing detailed facts about each one. His enthusiasm for learning and teaching others about his favorite prehistoric creatures was just one of the many things he loved. Sadly, Cash’s life was cut short before he was able to live out his artistic dreams, but he would have wanted other kids to follow in his footsteps and make their mark on the artistic world. This scholarship seeks to honor the life of Cash Ryder Lanspeary by supporting students who share his love for drawing or other arts.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is pursuing higher education or a career in the non-performing arts may apply for this scholarship opportunity. The scholarship will be awarded on October 15th, Cash’s birthday.
In honor of Cash's curiosity, passion, and love of dinosaurs, upload a self-made drawing of your favorite dinosaur to apply. This drawing should not be made digitally or with the use of AI. Additionally, write a short essay telling us about the dinosaur you drew and why it is your favorite. Include what medium you used for your art submission.
