The $10,000 Shirley Rabb Winston Scholarship in Voice and The $10,000 Naomi Winston Scholarship in Art have been established to allow young artists the opportunity to receive advanced training in either voice or art.

Past recipients of National awards from our chapter have participated in training for operatic roles in Italy and are now in vocal studies at Boston University and at Yale.
One of our 2008 Art applicants received the unprecedented $5,000 National Award to study in New York this past summer and is also a National Portrait Gallery Fnalist. In addition, $1,000 was awarded to applicants in 2008 and 2009. Since its inception,we have always had National Winston winners.
