Back to School Fun: $250 Scholarships Available via AHAA's Student Arts Mentorship (SAM) Program!

Students are invited to participate in AHAA's Student Arts Mentorship Program!

AHAA's Student Arts Mentorship Program partners with local artists, teachers, and the Ashland School District to match students with arts mentors outside of the classroom. Whether you are someone who loves to paint or enjoys singing, this is the perfect chance to enhance your creative skills and participate in private lessons, mentoring, or arts programs and camps outside of school. Students who are interested in trying something new or would like to pursue something after school with their friends are encouraged to participate.

AHAA offers scholarships to cover the costs associated with each of these opportunities. To learn more and to apply for a scholarship, please visit www.ashlandarts.org/studentscholarships.htm.

Since 1947, the VFW has sponsored an essay contest. Named the "Voice of Democracy", this program annually challenges high school students to submit a three-to-five minute long audio recording answering a specific question. This year's question is, "How are you showing Patriotism and Support to Our Country?" Entries enter a national competition that culminates with the national award winner receiving a $35,000 scholarship. The VFW also awards prizes to local and regional winners. An entry form and full contest rules are available at https://vfw-org-hqagarhxahbybyd9.z01.azurefd.net/-/media/VFWSite/Files/Community/Youth-and-Education/Voice-of-Democracy-Entry-Form-Fillable.pdf?la=en&v=1&d=20250425T161111Z Entries are due at Post 1833 by midnight, 31 October 2025.
