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
Penns Valley Area High School
Philipsburg-Osceola Area High School
State College Area High School

There were two distinguished judging teams of 3 judges each, one team to evaluate the Performing Arts and one the Visual Arts. (Judges names are listed below.) The judging teams in both categories were impressed with the quality of the submissions and both had difficulty selecting the top scholarship recipients among so many talented participants. We’re proud of you.
