Annual Scholarship
The Bedford Arts and Crafts Society awards an annual scholarship to a graduating high school senior through the proceeds from its Bedford Day crafts booth and Regional Art Show. The recipient is a graduating high school student who will go on to major in an art-related field. The award is presented at the Citizens Scholarship Foundation (CSF) of Bedford Awards Night each year in May. The selection of the BACS scholarship recipient is made in conjunction with the high school’s Art Department chair, independent of the CSF selection process.
