The Hunter Family Scholarship, created in 2001 by Dr. and Mrs. R. Merrill Hunter (parents of Katie Cecil ’98, Chris ’01, Matt ’04, and Anna ’08) is available to rising ninth-grade students. The scholarship provides up to $4,000 of tuition for each year the recipient remains enrolled in their curricular fine arts course in the Upper School program and allows for a one-time gift up to $3,000 toward the cost of attending a fine arts enrichment opportunity. The Hunter Family Scholarship was designed to acknowledge, support, and motivate students who have a strong interest and commitment to a fine arts subject, as evidenced through their enrollment and successful completion of coursework in that subject throughout their time as a student at Ravenscroft. In addition to having comprehensive portfolios in their fine arts subject, Hunter Scholars hold excellent character and serve as role models for other fine arts students at Ravenscroft. Upon earning the title of Hunter Scholar, these students become Ambassadors of the fine arts within our school community, representing our school's program and values throughout their academic tenure.
Applications are reviewed by a committee comprised of representatives from each of the Upper School fine arts disciplines, and may include practicing artists within the community. The students selected after these initial reviews are invited for a live interview and presentation or performance. Questions about the scholarship should be directed to Director of Fine Arts Dr. Bonnie Jacobi.
