Huntsville Festival of the Arts now accepting scholarship applications

The Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HFA) is announcing the launch of its annual Scholarship Awards Program.  

Officials say The Scholarship Awards help in the growth of performing arts talent in our community by increasing accessibility to arts education and the program provides financial assistance for youth who are currently studying or who plan to pursue studies in the arts. 

Since the start of this scholarship program in 1997, over 90 local youth have received financial assistance.  

“We have some exceptionally talented young people in our community.” Says Scott Acton, Board President. “ At HFA, it is an honor to support those looking to pursue educational opportunities in the arts through this scholarship program.”
