Linda “Noni” Anderson was a beloved mother and friend who passed away too soon after a battle with leukemia.
Linda was an advocate for the arts and believed they were vital sources of expression and beauty in our society. Unfortunately, many creative students are discouraged from pursuing their passions in college and are pushed toward more traditional fields instead.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Linda Anderson by financially supporting those who love the visual arts, performing arts, and music so that they will have the resources and encouragement necessary to fulfill their dreams.
Any low-income high school senior or undergraduate who has at least a 3.0 GPA and plans to study in arts or music may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us why you’re passionate about the arts and what piece of art or music is the most important to you. Additionally, please submit 1-2 pieces of your creative portfolio in either music or arts.
