WSNC | Max & Nancy Rogers Scholarship Application

Max P. and Nancy L. Rogers Workshop Grant Application

The Watercolor Society of North Carolina (WSNC) is honored to offer the Max P. and Nancy L. Rogers Workshop Grant, made possible by a generous bequest from their estate. Their family wished for these funds to support workshop opportunities for artists across North Carolina.

Each year, WSNC awards three grants—one per region—of up to $300 to help artists further their education, refine skills, and engage with the watercolor community. This funding can be used for workshop tuition, making workshops more accessible.

We encourage all members to apply and take advantage of this opportunity to grow and connect through watercolor.
