“The Philip J. Steele Arts Education Foundation Scholarship has greatly helped me here at RMCAD. Without that scholarship there was a good chance I wouldn’t have been able to go this semester.
Because of this scholarship I was able to continue my education on becoming a 3D animator.
I am deeply grateful and honored to have received this scholarship.”

“The Scholarship has helped me considerably. You see, my father lost his job due to a brain aneurysm and without the help of the scholarship things would be a lot more difficult for me as a student here at RMCAD. I can focus on my studies and not worry as much about my family troubles and difficulties that we are currently going through”
