Foxcroft School Announces Creation of Ruth T. Bedford Scholarship for the Arts

11/2/15 — The Ruth T. Bedford Merit Scholarship for the Arts, which will support as many as eight Foxcroft School students with $25,000-a-year grants, has been endowed by a portion of the largest gift ever made to a girls’ high school. “This scholarship will help us to reach new students who might not otherwise attend Foxcroft,” said Head of School Catherine S. McGehee. The scholarship will be awarded to new 9th or 10th grade students dedicated to the performing or visual arts and who have a strong desire to excel in that arena. The girls must also be academically focused, inquisitive, outgoing, and interested in developing leadership skills. They must be individuals who will add to the integrity and to the intellectual and creative richness of the school community.
