Jim was an excellent actor, a great guy and a strong supporter of the arts, and in his honor a scholarship is handed out each year to a deserving graduate who plans to study the arts in college. The scholarship provides $250 a year for four years (so it's actually a $1000 award).
If you know any seniors who qualify, let them know about it. Here's the information:
First Stage accepting applications for scholarship
The First Stage Theatre Company is now accepting applications for its annual Jim Stone Scholarship.
First Stage sponsors the scholarship to honor the memory of Jim Stone, a longtime supporter of the arts and mentor to local children in the performing arts. A $250 scholarship is available for entering freshmen or current full-time students who are studying dramatic or performing arts at a college, university or certified school of the performing arts.
The scholarship may be renewed each year for a total of four years. Three previous winners are eligible to renew their scholarships this year.
The deadline for entries is Monday, August 11, 2008.
Applicants must have been involved with at least one First Stage Theatre Company (or Musical Arts Guild -- Children's Theatre) show, either on-stage (as a performer) or off-stage (as a member of the tech crew). Applicants must send a transcript of their last year's schooling, a list of the shows they've been in and a short essay (no more than 300 words) on why the applicant is planning to study dramatic or performing arts.
Applications should be sent to First Stage Scholarships, c/o Jim Lamp, P.O. Box 2488, Huntington, WV, 25725.
