GREENFIELD — Two Greenfield students were recently awarded performing arts scholarships from the STAR (Support The Arts Regionally) Foundation of Monterey County.
Apolinar DeJesus, a senior at Greenfield High School, and Claire Larson, a senior at Notre Dame High School, will each receive either $500, if attending a two-year college, or $1,000, if attending a four-year college, depending on available funds.
The program, which started in 2012, helps graduating Monterey County high school seniors pursue their interest in the performing arts beyond the secondary school setting. Scholarship awards are available for students having an interest in acting, musical theater, vocal and/or instrumental music, related technical skills, playwriting, performing arts management in a college or in an extracurricular program.
