Additional Information: The Denver Lindley, Jr. Arts Scholarship was established in memory of Denver Lindley by Jim and Debbie Millis, Bill and Ellen Kealy, and others. In order to be eligible to apply for financial aid from the Foundation, 50 percent or more of the student's college courses must be taken in a traditional classroom setting. A Student Aid committee of The Winston-Salem Foundation will select recipients. The committee reserves the right to rescind an award should a recipient's circumstances change, such as failure to graduate from high school or failure to enroll at an accredited institution. The Foundation reserves the right to withhold the award in the event that no applicants are deemed to meet the qualifications.

Award Amount: $1,500 annually, renewable for three additional consecutive years if the recipient maintains full-time enrollment, a minimum cumulative college grade point average acceptable for continued enrollment as verified by the year-end academic grade transcript, and continues to pursue study in the visual arts. The recipient must request an official grade transcript from the college's Registrar and forward it to the Foundation by July 1 each year. Scholarships will be applied to the cost of undergraduate tuition, fees, room and board, and other college expenses. Once recipient(s) have been selected, checks will be issued jointly to the college and to the recipient, and will be mailed to the recipient's home address for the student to deliver to the college's financial aid office. Separate checks will be issued for fall and spring semesters. Check processing requires approximately two weeks.  The total dollars awarded for this scholarship is $6,000.
