This year, 14 graduating seniors were presented with MoorArts scholarships at Moorestown High School’s Senior Recognition Night.
MoorArts is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the fine and performing arts in Moorestown public schools and throughout the community for almost 30 years. A major focus for MoorArts is awarding scholarships to graduating seniors who have demonstrated excellence in the fine and performing arts during their high school careers.
This year, 14 graduating seniors were presented with MoorArts scholarships at Moorestown High School’s Senior Recognition Night in June including: Emily Ai, Andrew Chen, Peter Wajda, William Wang, Dean Blizzard, Olivia Boyer, Anna Buss, Megan Clark,Thomas Trasser , Michael Gural, Andrew Harker, Bridget Hartshorne, Christine Nasife and Hannah Yallof.
Proceeds from MoorArts-sponsored events support MoorArts Scholarships for eligible high school seniors and the MoorArts Grants Program for arts-based projects in the school system. Since 1991, MoorArts (established as Moorestown Arts Advocacy Council) has awarded over 300 scholarships for outstanding achievement in visual arts, vocal and instrumental music, theater, arts production, design, and dance.
A number of scholarship recipients now have promising careers in the arts or arts-related fields, and many have returned to participate in MoorArts activities as performers, technical and creative assistants, and in leadership positions.
