Each year over 700 students enter competition for our scholarships and awards.

We grant over $12,000 to the winners chosen from middle and high school students who reside on Bainbridge Island.

The categories include dance, drama, music, creative writing, and art.

The winners in creative writing and art receive their awards at the spring awards ceremony at Bainbridge High School.

Donations to the scholarship fund are gratefully accepted.
In early spring a community performance of first place winners in dance, drama and music is held. All are welcome.
