The purpose of the Saradell Ard Art Scholarships is to offer financial assistance for tuition and other educational expenses for two full-time University of Alaska Anchorage students who are formally admitted into an Art degree-seeking program. The first award is for a BFA candidate whose work shows the most promise during his/her junior year for use during his/her senior year at UAA.
