A liberal arts education is essential in maintaining and restoring the decorative arts, namely ornamental plasterwork Since last year, I did my final externship in France this past summer and will be graduating this May.

I will use the $2500 scholarship towards my Fall and Spring tuition for the past year to offset the fee bill, which helps me financially."
