The Victor Agnoni Visual Arts Foundation – VAVAF LGBT Arts Scholarship is open to LGBTQ high school seniors who are entering college with a qualifying visual arts portfolio.
The aim of the award is to encourage young people to continue their education and support them in case they have financial difficulties.
Full Description
The recipient will receive a $1,500 award.
The scholarship was founded by Nicholas Agnoni so as to honor the memory and loving support of his father, Victor.
