Scholarships Fine & Performing Arts

Three scholarships. One purpose: supporting student artists.

Fine Arts Endowed Scholarship

Provides support for students pursuing creative growth and study in the visual arts.

“A first-generation Latina from an immigrant family, I’ve learned to work hard, stay humble, and persevere. Attending Vista has helped me overcome self-doubt and financial strain while growing as an art student. I plan to pursue a degree focused on New Media and own a creative business that fosters a community of artistic collaboration. Thank you for your immense support. You make my dreams possible. I am truly grateful and blessed.”
-Hannah Juarez, Fine Arts Major

Since 2013, $10K+ has been awarded to visual art students with total of 17 scholarship recipients.

Jack Stone Endowed Music Scholarship

Assists music students in pursuing their studies and performance goals while honoring a lasting legacy of creativity.

“Music has been with me through everything I’ve experienced, through both my highs and lows. Watching my mother fight for her dreams, even during difficult times, inspired me to pursue music education and help others discover what they love. Thanks to the Jack Stone Endowed Music Scholarship, I’m able to continue working toward my goals, focus on my studies, and create a space where others can feel supported through music.”
-Tony Estrada, Jr., Music Major

Dr. Jacqueline Claunch Legacy Scholarship

Honors Northwest Vista College’s founding president by supporting students in the Fine & Performing Arts as they develop their artistic and academic paths.

“Growing up around performance opened my eyes to what my purpose is in life. It taught me that our greatest impact often comes not from what we receive, but from what we give. Receiving this scholarship brings me closer to achieving my goals while continuing that legacy of service and storytelling.”
-Lorenzo Lopez, Dance Major
