Since 1996 the Dufferin Arts Council has awarded over $140,000 in scholarships via the Ann Laurier Scholarship Fund. These $2,500 scholarships are awarded to Grade 12 students, who are residents of Dufferin County, who are going to College or University to study in the Arts. DAC is extremely pleased to announce this year’s winners.
