The Robert Villamagna Jr. Memorial Scholarship is available to current WLU Art Education and Visual Communication Design students. This scholarship was established in memory of Robert Villamagna Jr., who passed away at the young age of 28 after a tragic train/car accident. He was passionate about art, particularly, black and white photography.
His father, Robert Villamagna Sr., an art faculty member, and William Baronak, a colleague, led the effort to establish this scholarship fund to benefit WLU students who had a similar passion for visual arts.
Selected students will display financial need and will be required to give back to the campus and/or greater community through art. The scholarship will be awarded in the amount of $1,000 per year disbursed at $500 per semester. The amount and number of awards are subject to change depending on fund growth.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION:
- Students entering their sophomore, junior or senior semesters will be considered
- Major in Visual Communication Design or Art Education
- Preference for a student who displays financial need
- Desire to give back to campus and/or the greater community through art
If you are a prospective or current student interested in applying for this scholarship, please contact the College of Liberal and Creative Arts Associate Professor/ Director of Forensics at 304-336-8532.
