The Art League of Ocean City announces a new scholarship funded by the recently-created Sidney M. Beckstead Scholarship for the Arts that will be awarded annually to a local art student.
For the inaugural year of 2021, the Beckstead scholarship will award $5,000 to one art student from Worcester Co.
In subsequent years, the fund has committed to a minimum of $2,500 each year for five years.
Taylor Bank, where the fund is held, is contributing $500 towards the Beckstead scholarship fund, and additional donations are being accepted.
The deadline for students to apply for the $5,000 scholarship is May 8, 2021.
Students must be graduating high school seniors who are residents of Worcester County, Md., including public and private school students and homeschoolers.
The scholarship recipient must be pursuing a higher education in the creative arts from an accredited institution.
