$1,000.00 scholarships to a high school student interested in theater or the performing arts. Here Maggie Larrick (BAT’s Managing Director – left) poses with Grace Clark (right) the recipient of the BAT arts scholarship at Kennedy Catholic High School.

Two more high school students interested in theater or the performing arts from the Highline School District will be awarded $1,000.00 each in June.

2019 is the second year BAT has offered scholarships to high school students interested in the arts in the greater Burien area.

This year’s three scholarships were graciously funded by King County Council through Council Member Dave Upthegrove.

Dave Upthegrove, Maggie and Eric – big check!

Dave Upthegrove is an ardent supporter of the arts and Burien students, and he is a friend to BAT. Here, Council Member Upthegrove is providing funding for the second year of BAT’s high school scholarships for students interested in the arts.
