Mary M. Packwood Graduate Scholarship
In 1984 Mary McMullan Packwood established a special art teacher summer school scholarship award to recognize outstanding performance in the teaching of art and to foster leadership in the field of art education. The applicant must be accepted into a graduate program in art and submit examples of their and their students' art work, writing, college transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and GRE scores. The applicant must be a certified teacher of art in an Illinois school who has taught art for no less than two, and not more than ten years. Applicants will be assessed based on their performance as a teacher of art, demonstrated leadership in the school system or the community, and/or academic or artistic ability.
