County Students May Now Apply for the HCAC Scholarship

The Hardeman County Arts Council (HCAC) is offering a one-time, $500 scholarship to one qualified high school senior from Bolivar Central High School (BCHS) and to one qualified high school senior from Middleton High School (MHS), or a qualified Hardeman County homeschool student zoned for one of those schools.

The scholarship is open to seniors pursuing a college major or minor in the arts and/or related fields. Degree programs in art, creative writing, dance, drama, literature, and music, as well as teaching in these areas or related fields, will be considered. Students who have participated in an HCAC production on stage or behind the scenes, but are not pursuing one of those areas of study, are also eligible to apply.

“The HCAC is proud to be able to give back to our community and support the continued education of our youth,” said HCAC President Brandon Burvee. “Our youth are the future of our communities and the HCAC is dedicated to giving them an outlet to express themselves and support their education.”

Applications are available in the counselor’s office at both high schools. If you have a home school student, please contact Jennifer Smeltser at (510) 931-8314 for an application. The deadline is Friday, April 11, 2025.
