Student Scholarships
Introducing the 2025 Spicewood Arts Scholars!
Spicewood Arts would like to announce four winners of the Spicewood Scholars selected from the graduating senior classes of Lake Travis and Marble Falls High Schools, and eleven returning winners of previous scholarships. Each receives up to a $1,500 award.
All have passed a rigorous grading process requiring them to submit samples of their work, show classes in the arts, competitions, grades, and financial needs. Each student will be pursuing further studies in arts-related fields.
With this year’s awards, Spicewood Arts has awarded more than $200,000, and the number of scholarships given yearly has more than doubled. The scholarships are supported by the Spicewood Arts annual fundraiser in February and individual donations throughout the year.
