Sue Drummond co-founded the Thornapple Arts Council in 1985 with the desire to expose the youth of Barry County to arts and culture through various programming. She believed strongly in the benefits of creative expression for all individuals.

Her legacy lives on through the Sue Drummond Scholarship Fund that was established in 1998 after her unfortunate death due to cancer. The Scholarship provides financial assistance to young students of Barry County who want to pursue their artistic talents through educational programs and/or courses including summer camps and workshops. Applicants must be a resident of Barry County and currently be enrolled in grades 7 through 11.

The Scholarships are awarded once annually during the spring and all applications are reviewed by a committee. Applications for 2009 are due Wednesday April 8, 2009.

Please see the scholarship application form.
