The Samantha S. Roberts Memorial Scholarship is funded by the Roberts family to honor the life of Samantha S. Roberts, who was an artist passionate about creative expression. The scholarship aims to support high school and undergraduate students from the Midwest, specifically those pursuing art, as a way to encourage and uplift students who may face financial barriers in their educational journey. The scholarship offers a total of $2,000, divided among two winners, each receiving $1,000. The application process requires students to share their artistic inspirations and submit examples of their work.
