Betty Brothers Travel Abroad Scholarship
To honor former Mount art professor Betty Brothers, we award up to two $2,000 travel scholarships annually. A panel of art and design faculty members select the recipients from the submitted application, with preference given to traditional students within the Department of Art & Design as majors or minors. Undergraduates are limited to two scholarships each over the university career.
Professor Brothers taught Ceramics and Art History from 1969 -1990, and served as department chair from 1984-1990. She valued travel abroad as an important part of art appreciation and study in the visual arts. These scholarships are intended to offset overseas travel expenses for Art & Design students who share the same passion for learning and understanding of the visual arts that Betty Brothers did.
