Post 353: Prince William Art Society Scholarship Award Night

Prince William Art Society Scholarship Award Night

Monday, May 22, 2023 7:30 pm This month's Prince William Art Society meeting was our annual Jewell Pratt Burns Scholarship Award night, giving a $1000 Scholarship to high school senior Awaneh Sawaneh. This is our 14th year celebrating our PWAS Scholarship awarding ceremony.

Jewell Pratt Burns Scholarship

Jewell Pratt Burns is an original founding member of the PWAS which began in 1971. The Scholarship Program was named after Jewell and is awarded each year to one or two Prince William County High School seniors (except for in 2020 and 2021) that are graduating and continuing their education in the arts. 

Here are some pictures from Monday's award ceremony.
