The Arts Council of Rockland awarded $14,200 in scholarships last weekend to six graduating high school students who plan to pursue “studies in their art form at a public or private university, college or conservatory located in New York State in the fall of 2008.”
State Sen. Thomas Morahan (R-New City) helped ACOR secure most of the money for the scholarships and private donations made up the difference.
The following students received scholarships:
• Benlin Alexander, a student at Clarkstown South High School, who will be attending Rochester Institute of Technology to study visual arts
• Sarah Brenner, a student at Clarkstown North High School, who will be attending Ithaca College to study theater
• Gabrielle Godino, a student at Clarkstown North High School, who will be attending Pratt Institute to study visual art
• Keryn Kleinman, a student at Clarkstown North High School, who will be attending Purchase College to study music
• Amanda Rossi, a student at Tappan Zee High School, who will attending Manhattan School of Music to study music
• Shelby Yamin, a student at Tappan Zee High School, who will be attending Manhattan School of Music to study music
A panel of professional artists — William Blossom, Bridget Clark, Harriet Hyams and Diana Worby — chose the students to receive awards.
Congrats to all.
