The Palette & The Page Fine Art Scholarship
The Palette & The Page is a gallery in downtown Elkton, Maryland that was established in November 2009. It is proudly owned by three women, Patti Paulus, Lynn Whitt and Janet Youse who see this as their legacy to Cecil County. They are passionate about giving back to the Cecil County community, supporting students at Cecil College financially with this scholarship and with opportunities to observe local artist’s work. The women owners also highly value offering opportunities for some students to show their work in the gallery and/or learn as an intern. This endowment is truly a community funded scholarship as the majority of the funds were donated by community members at events held at the gallery.
