Josh Edwards Memorial Scholarship For Creative Artists
Josh Edwards was a remarkably talented man who passed away too soon after a life of creativity and passion.
Josh was a screenwriter, musician, photographer, and artist and made the world a little more vibrant every day through his art. Pursuing and succeeding in artistic fields takes great skill, drive, and determination, especially considering how little encouragement most people receive from family, friends, and teachers to pursue the arts.
This scholarship seeks to honor the legacy of Josh Edwards by supporting students who share his calling to artistic endeavors.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is a first-generation college student and a North Carolina resident may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they’re pursuing music, art, photography, or writing. A special love for Dungeons and Dragons is a bonus!
