“This scholarship obviously helps financially, but receiving it made me realize I can “make it” as an artist. It helped me stay confident in my abilities as an artist. In times when I’m not sure about pursuing a creative career the La Quinta Arts Foundation Scholarship is a motivating factor in inspiring me to create. I can’t thank you enough for the art scholarship.”—Jake Hill
