Pearl Starbird Scholarship
Pearl Starbird is an accomplished artist and musician. She shared her passion for art for many years as a teacher in the Boston schools. Her skill as a cellist was a more personal interest, which she enjoyed with her friends. Although she worked in Boston throughout her career, Pearl considered her family's camp in Waterford to be her home. This is where she spent her summer vacations and came to live when she retired from teaching. She brought her love of classical music and art to Waterford and established this scholarship to encourage students who share her passion to pursue their education in these fields.
The purpose of this fund is to provide renewable scholarship support to graduates of high schools in Oxford County, Maine, or Lake Region High School in Naples, Maine, to pursue college-level education in music or the arts (with special consideration to be given to the study of painting, drawing, or sculpture). “Art” in this context refers to the traditional visual arts rather than writing, with a preference for the study of classical music and fine arts. This fund is meant to make the difference between a student choosing to major in art or music rather than a “more practical” course of study.
