The James F. Collins Scholarship Fund
This fund was established in October of 1999 by the family of James F. Collins, husband of Di Collins (instructor and co-founder of The Art School of Peterborough, formerly known as The Lakefield School of Fine Arts). Memorial donations to this fund were deposited to a separate bank account of The Art School of Peterborough to be held in trust.
A memorial plaque was placed in the art school (purchased by the art school) and the following parameters were determined by Di Collins and The Art School of Peterborough:
- The scholarship will take the form of a 10-week course at the art school.
- It will be awarded yearly (or at the discretion of Di Collins).
- The student will attend a course taught by Di Collins.
- The art school will pay Di Collins for teaching that student.
- The student's name and the year the scholarship was awarded will be engraved on the plaque, with costs to be covered by the art school.
