Scholar’s Certificate

A student who, within a minimum of one calendar year, has earned at least four Certificates of Achievement or who completes at least four quarters’ work within five years, is awarded a Scholar’s Certificate acknowledging a consistent commitment to the study of art. If, during a year, a student completes five, six or seven courses, the Scholars Certificate will be labeled "With Merit", if eight, nine or ten courses are completed, the Certificate will read "with Distinction"; eleven or more courses completed in one year will earn a Certificate "With Honors." The number of Scholar’s Certificates earned reflects the number of actual years of study completed at the Studio.         

Each Scholar’s Certificate earned qualifies one to exhibit in the Studio’s annual Scholar’s Show held each November in the Clarkesville Library.
