Applications for the Kenan Arts Council Scholarships are now available in the guidance offices at Barker, Lockport, Newfane, Niagara-Wheatfield, Royalton-Hartland, Starpoint and Wilson high schools.

Three $600 scholarships will be awarded this year to high school seniors who will be attending college next year, majoring in art, design, theater or music. Applicants must have a minimum high school grade average of 80 percent and be actively involved in extracurricular and community activates. Completed applications must be sent to the Kenan Arts Council, Attn: Scholarship Committee, 433 Locust St., Lockport, NY 14094 by March 26.

The Kenan Arts Council is affiliated with the Kenan Center. The council raises funds throughout the year with various activities, such as its Holiday Gift Show and the annual plant sale to support Kenan Center programs and to provide scholarships for area students.
