Neo-Political Cowgirls Introduce The Stacey Fuller Cohn Scholarship

The Neo-Political Cowgirls are proud to announce the introduction of the Stacey Fuller Cohn Scholarship, named for her memory by her family. This very special opportunity is a full scholarship and will be gifted to a local deserving girl. It will be decided upon by NPC's board and local educators, and will be offered at each workshop- which occur up to five times a year.

Stacey Fuller Cohn was a mother to two young children and a beloved wife when she lost her fight against colon cancer in August of 2016. Through this scholarship, NPC will celebrate Stacey's love of the arts, her family, and her life's work while encouraging a local girl to find her own expressive voice and authentically share her talents with her own community. NPC is honored to present this opportunity in Stacey's name.

Local educators are welcome to submit suggested scholar names to npcowgirls@gmail.com. We ask that scholarship girls be aged 8-12, have financial constraints, be "at-risk," have lost a parent OR be dealing with other personal struggles and be in a position of need for emotional support, friendship and leadership - building.
