Elgin Arts Association has awarded nearly 30 scholarships since 2010 ranging from $1,000-$2,500. Our Scholarship fund has grown with community support from our local patrons and business sponsors. We applaud everyone who has given loose change and dollars into tip jars at events, and all those who donated and purchased items at our Silent Auctions for the annual Pearls Scholarships, and given donations at our pop-up events. These scholarship funds go directly towards their college tuition, and we celebrate these recipients for furthering their education in the arts.
