For many students, scholarships are crucial to funding a college education. Without the aid of scholarships many students would be unable to attend college at all.

That’s why as an art association, KAMA is proud to honor students from our local Kalama School District with an art scholarship.

We hold the arts in high esteem, and feel it is important for students to have the opportunity to hone their talents and develop their skills in a field that they are passionate about.

Two scholarships are offered. A first place scholarship for $1,000, and a second place scholarship for $500.

 

2025 Application Deadline: April 30, 2025

If you are a Kalama High School student (including students in the Running Start Program), please contact Mr. Fornia, Kalama High School art instructor, for application form and instructions.
