ARTA Scholarships
VI OKO
On behalf of everyone at ARTA , sincere congratulations to this year ’ s recipients .
Every August ARTA awards six scholarships , three to degree students and three to certificate or diploma students enrolled in an accredited post-secondary institution . Applications for these scholarships are only accepted from direct relatives — children , grandchildren or first and second generation nieces and nephews — of current ARTA members .
The ARTA Governance Committee is entrusted with ascertaining the scholarship recipients . Academic achievement , community involvement , volunteer work , future goals and personal accomplishments supported by two letters of reference are used to determine the scholarship winners . Selecting the eventual recipients was made exceedingly difficult this year because of the outstanding qualifications of the applicants .
