You are invited to help the FCAA sponsor its Scholarship Program. Each year the Frederick County Art Association (FCAA) conducts an Art competition open to all Frederick County High School seniors who plan a continued program of study in the visual arts. Awards of $500, $300 and $200 are presented to talented persons to assist with their college expenses. To date the FCAA has given more than $35,000 in scholarships to students.

You may help by providing a direct gift to the FCAA, or by one of the following ways:

In September the Community Foundation sent out its Fall newsletter. The front cover story is 'Community Foundation Scholarships: Helping Students Pursue Their Dreams' The Frederick County Art Association Scholarship Fund is listed along with 90 other scholarship funds. It is very important when you make a contribution to the Community Foundation that specify that you want your gift donation to go our scholarship fund. If you don't, your donation will go into a general fund. It is our goal to put enough money into the endowment fund so it will grow to a point that the interest earned will pay for the scholarship program. For more information call the Community Foundation at 301-695-7660 or view their website at www.cffredco.org

You can obtain a gift form from The Community Foundation of Frederick County at 312 East Church Street, Frederick, MD 21701 or send them an Email. Their telephone number is (301) 695-7660.
