Hartselle Art Studio & Gallery Scholarship Fund
Michele founded the HASG Scholarship Fund in loving memory of her best childhood friend -- Billy Garnett, her brother, who passed away in September 2007 at the age of 41.
Her goal for the HASG Scholarship Fund is to be an outside encourager to her students by giving scholarship money to her senior students upon completion of high school.
Since 2008, the HASG Scholarship Fund has been able to present thousands of dollars to deserving senior art students. This fund is raised annually with donations and various fund raisers. We are now beginning 2011-12 school year, and we need your help! We want this years' scholarship to be the biggest yet. To find out how you can help, please contact Michele.
