Aiken Performing Arts has established an annual $1,000 scholarship with the Aiken Technical College Foundation.

“We’re wanting to contribute to education, give back to the community, and connect with young people who are our future,” says Tony Ateca, the president of Aiken Performing Arts.

The scholarship will support second-year students who have an interest in the fine arts or “have a passion for the arts,” Ateca said.

“This scholarship is particularly impactful because students may have a love for the fine arts but may be majoring in health, sciences, or technical field. This will allow them to pursue their passion, well majoring in their career field of choice,” ATC Foundation Director Beth LaClair, Ph.D., said.
