2022 Scholarship Presentation
Given to Emma Hansen
Hello!
My name is Wendy van Welie, co-President of Granby Artists Association.
A segment of the mission of Granby Artists Association is to support arts education within our Granby community.
Part of this support is awarding an annual scholarship to a senior graduating from Granby Memorial High School who plans to pursue the study of visual arts in a 2 or 4 year degree program.
This year’s recipient has shown promising growth in their skills and understanding. Although Covid-19 has been very challenging for all students, this year’s recipient has contributed to their school and community in many ways. We believe that they will be an asset to their new university community.
Granby Artists Association is happy to award our 2022 Scholarship to Emma Hansen and wish Emma great success in the future.
Congratulations Emma!
