“I was lucky enough to interact with several members of the Eureka Springs Opera Guild over the course of the summer and it was nice to see their familiar faces in the audience during the performances. And in receiving a scholarship from the Guild, I felt even more connected to that support network. I hope that future recipients of scholarships will have the same experiences and feel the same level of support from the donors that I did.”
