Over 30 fine arts scholarships were awarded at the Kaskaskia College Friends of the Fine Arts (KCFFA) annual meeting. The college awarded another 30 activity scholarships to KC art, music, and theater students, while KCFFA awarded five scholarships.

The Friends of the Fine Arts, in conjunction with local area Rotary clubs, takes pride in recognizing talented and gifted students of Kaskaskia College. In recognition of students demonstrating an abiding interest and proven talent in the area of fine and performing art, the KCFFA established an additional four scholarships, totaling $1,800 each, to be awarded to students in the following programs: instrumental music, vocal music, art, and theater. This award is designed to provide supplemental funding to cover the cost of educational expenses such as tuition, fees, food from the KC cafeteria, books, general supplies, KC childcare expenses, and any other pre-approved program supplies, as approved by the program sponsor.

An enrichment grant was also given to each departmental area to use to attend events/concerts/performances off campus to enhance the student’s art experience.  Previous outings with faculty and students include traveling to St. Louis, Chicago, and Memphis to attend plays, musicals, symphony performances, and art exhibits.
