The NVMA Centennial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. was established following the Association’s Centennial Year in 1996. The “seed money” to establish the foundation and provide for its first scholarship was provided by the sale of 150 limited edition bronze sculptures. Additional scholarships have been established by generous contributors. In 2021 the NVMA transferred the Dr. O.H. and Ruth Person Memorial Scholarship funds to NCSF for administration purposes.
