Welcome to the Clare Fund Virtual Gallery!
The Clare Fund is delighted to announce the scholarship recipients for the first ever “We’ve Got Talent Online!” Twenty-seven students participated in the Visual Arts Competition, and ten students participated in the Performing Arts competition. We were very happy that so many schools throughout Centre County were represented in the two competitions:
Bald Eagle Arts High School
Delta Program (State College)
PA Leadership Charter School
