Fine Arts Association Missions Scholarship
The FAA Missions Scholarship Fund was established in memory of Annabelle Interian, a dedicated Westminster Christian School parent who sadly lost her life in a cycling accident in 2016. She was an amazing fine arts volunteer, but her real passion was to serve others through prayer, Bible studies and local and international missions. The WCS Fine Arts Association Missions Scholarship honors her passion by offering two high school fine arts students the opportunity to go on a mission trip or work on a mission project funded at up to $500 each.
