The Vermont Alliance for Arts Education (VAAE) has selected two Vermont high school seniors to receive $500 college scholarships for artistic achievement. The scholarship recipients are Levi N. Tetreault, St. Johnsbury Academy and Julianna Matthews, Homeschooled (Newport, VT).
Julianna Matthews
“We had another outstanding pool of applicants this year,” said Walter Judge, a director at Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC who serves as co-chair of VAAE. “We are pleased to be able to recognize the hard work and achievements of these talented students by awarding arts scholarships to help defray college expenses.”
“Invaluable assistance was provided by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation to publicize the scholarships to students throughout Vermont and to coordinate the application process,” said Judge, “and by Jessica Dyer of Burlington City Arts and Glory Douglass Reinstein, a music teacher at Essex High School, who assisted me in thoughtfully reviewing each application and selecting the winners.”
Matthews won in the music category. The judges selected Matthews for her outstanding performance of difficult material on the classical flute, which belied her age as a high school senior. She will attend the University of Vermont.

Tetreault’s paintings, drawings, sketches, and prints using the Intaglio method, impressed the judges by showing technical sophistication and maturity of subject matter. Tetreault plans to attend Mass College of Art in Boston.
