Past Presidents Pre-Service Scholarship


The NYSATA PATRICIA H. GROVES Past Presidents Scholarship Award is intended to encourage leadership and foster dedication to the field of art education. This $500 cash award is awarded annually to a deserving pre-service student enrolled in an accredited visual art education program (from both private and public educational institutions) in New York State. Candidates for this award must meet specific criteria that include recommendation by an art education program faculty member, maintaining a GPA of 3.5 or higher, excellence as an artist, and must be scheduled to student teach within a year of the award.

This scholarship was made possible by the generous support of many past presidents. These founding members are all past presidents of NYSATA. For a complete list of donors please see the NYSATA website. Proposed by Patricia Groves (Past President 2007-2009), this award will be the first scholarship given to go to an art education pre-service student. The NYSATA Past President’s Scholarship Award will serve as a legacy to all of these dedicated individuals who gave so much of themselves to NYSATA and to the field of art education. 

An Application Form and Checklist of supporting material have been provided and may be copied as many times as needed. Please use both forms in making your submission. The completed application, along with all required materials, must be postmarked by May 31 of each year. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Notification of awards will be sent out by February 1 each year.
