The 2018 recipient of the annual Bedford Arts and Crafts Society (BACS) scholarship was Bedford High School graduate Sophia Wilson. (Left) Louise Banner of BACS presented the scholarship at the Citizens Scholarship Foundation awards ceremony in May.
Sophia is attending the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she plans a double major in animal science and fine art. “In the future I see myself merging my interests in animals and art together to create my career. It’ll probably be something like documentary work,” she says.
