Carolyn Parker Pottery Scholarship

The Carolyn Parker Pottery Scholarship was established in 2011 by Carolyn Parker to encourage students to study and experience ceramics at the Richland Campus. This scholarship will emphasize the importance of ceramics at the Richland Campus, foster enthusiasm for ceramics, encourage the continuing study of ceramics, especially by women, and recognize exceptional students.

Our scholarship program welcomes applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or disability. Priority will be given to underrepresented students, first-generation students, low-income students, or those with limited resources. We are dedicated to providing learning opportunities to all students and fostering a welcoming environment for everyone.
