Art Scholarship Application

Martha Gilman Roach Memorial Art Scholarship

Martha Gilman was a graduate of Hilltop High School in 1967, and received her art degree from UCLA in 1971. Martha was a life-long talented artist, and the beauty of the original local natural landscape was a frequent theme of her art. HHSDFS is proud to have some of her artwork grace our website (see www.oocities.org/hhsdfs/artwork). Although her years-long battle with cancer ended December 9, 2004, but her incredibly positive spirit and faith in God never dimmed, even as she walked down that last dark road. Before her passing away, it delighted Martha and her artist husband Tom to think of establishing a scholarship to benefit students of her alma mater pursuing their artistic dreams. Therefore, in remembrance of Martha, her friends and family contributed to establish the Martha Gilman Roach Memorial Scholarship.

Applicants for this scholarship are encouraged to pursue their dreams, and continue in Martha’s spirit by using their artistic talents and all their other personal abilities and skills to make the world a more beautiful place. Therefore, applicants will be judged and scholarship awarded on the basis of love for art and artistry already demonstrated during student’s high school performance, as well as actions already taken and plans made to pursue a career in art.
