The Dianne Komminsk Scholarship originated with a generous donation from Ohio Art Patron and philanthropist, Dianne Komminsk. Mid-South Sculpture Alliance is honored to continue her legacy of giving and promoting the arts by continuing to provide this scholarship to students across the US. The scholarship is open to all students currently enrolled in any higher education art program (BA, BFA, and MFA candidates are all welcome to apply). Students who apply need to provide a sponsor (someone who is a current member of MSA). Applicants may nominate themselves if their own membership is current. The goal of the MSA scholarship is to provide monetary support, networking, and exhibition opportunities to students in order to promote a supportive environment for sculptors as they advance through their academic studies.
