The 2016 Krylon® Clear Choice Art Scholarship campaign resulted in nearly 130 qualified submissions.
The talent represented in reviewed portfolios is quite impressive, making annual judging increasingly
difficult.
Five recipients have received a $1,000 scholarship to the college of their choice, as well as a package of
Krylon® artist products. The scholarship recipients’ high schools art programs also received a
$500 grant and Krylon artist products, from which multiple students will benefit.
An additional ten students received Krylon product packages valued at $70 each and their high school art
programs received product packages valued at $250 each.
