Student Scholarships

'IN THE ARTS' Scholarships are offered to our local students. Applications will be made available in the school as well as on this website. Openings will be limited. CRESS will work with teachers to choose the recipient(s), and will make every effort to sponsor as many students as we can throughout the year. We will be looking for students who exhibit special talent and passion in the area of the arts. Music, drama, fine arts and more. Students who may not recognize they have this talent (ability) and/or may not otherwise be able to grow their special talents. We will work hard to find mentors, workshops, lessons and other avenues to build & encourage our students' confidence and talent by working with them in the area they have shown much promise.

We will also work with teachers on their classroom wish lists to help support the 'arts' courses such as drama, art, creative writing....CRESS is dedicated to the advancement of our students.

CRESS sponsored Teas where Charity Auction items where donated by guests.
