2020 Scholarship Winners
Each year the Santa Clarita Artists Association (SCAA) raises funds to provide scholarships to high school graduating senior art students in the Santa Clarita Valley, with plans to continue their education in the arts field.
The interviews could not be held in person due to Covid-19 quarantine restrictions, so the interviews were held via Zoom, after normal school hours.
