The Classic Center Cultural Foundation has announced the winners of its 2017 Performing Arts Scholarships.
A total of 35 students from the Athens area as well as Rabun and Greene counties competed for one of this year's eight $2,000 Performing Arts Scholarships. It was the most the Cultural Foundation has ever awarded.
In total, the Classic Center Cultural Foundation awarded $27,500 in scholarships this year.
Grace Strickland of North Oconee High School, Jessie Keuhne of Rabun Gap-Nacoochee, Ester Muniz of Rabun County High School and Matthew Ingram of Greene County High School were each presented a Vocal Performance Scholarship.
Instrumental Scholarships were awarded to Lauren Chen of Cedar Shoals High School, Kelsey Becker of Rabun County High School and Anna Yin of Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School.
Kiana Washington of Oconee County High School was presented with a Drama Scholarship.
Each recipient's high school also received $500 for the music and arts departments.
Because of donations from Foundation members over the past year, additional scholarships were awarded in Rabun County, and a new scholarship was created in Greene County.
In addition to the eight Performing Arts Scholarships, the Cultural Foundation will award three $2,000 Culinary Scholarships in June, with each recipient's culinary program receiving an additional $500.
Applications for the Culinary Scholarship are now being accepted through May 31, 2017. All interested applicants can apply at ClassicCenter.com/CulinaryScholarship.
