NEW! Announcing The John L. Dill Memorial Scholarship –
The John L. Dill Memorial Scholarship was established to empower children’s ideas and instill a passion for improving their environment through creative thinking. John believed kids can have a bigger impact than they think, as long as they are willing to be open-hearted and are willing to dream. John felt children were given this ability naturally; they just need the methods to do it and the unselfish adult support that hears and pursues their ideas. He hoped to teach the youngest of us to create structure for changing the world. John felt there is no bigger source of goodwill in the world than how kids want to make it better. John’s family is excited for this scholarship to help continue his legacy, as they feel Mattie Rhodes encompasses his ideals of making creative programming available to children of all backgrounds.
This scholarship is available for all art camp sessions! For more information, please reach out to Jenny Mendez at jmendez@mattierhodes.org
