Student Scholarships

Introducing the 2022 Spicewood Arts Scholars!

Spicewood Arts is proud to announce six winners of the Spicewood Scholars scholarships selected from the graduating senior classes of Lake Travis and Marble Falls High Schools and seven returning winners of previous scholarships. Six received a $1,500 award and one received a $750 award.

All have passed a rigorous grading process requiring them to submit samples of their work, show classes in the arts, competitions, and other awards, and were ranked by grades earned. Each student will be pursuing further studies in arts-related fields.
