The Fred Ross Scholarship is a recognition of a young artist with drive and potential. An independent jury selected Rylee Hayes, a Simonds High School graduate, as a Fred Ross scholar commenting that “her portfolio exhibits the passion and confidence of a committed artist deeply engaged with life around her.
Her dynamic photography, fresh and original painting, experimentation with sculpture and insightful artist statement impressed the jury as hallmarks of a student mature beyond her years.”
Ms. Hayes will enter the Bachelor of Applied Arts Program at the University of New Brunswick.
