TBBCA is proud to support arts education through The Charlie Hounchell Art Stars Scholarships Program, developed and championed by TBBCA Past President, the late Charlie Hounchell, for whom it was renamed. Since 2008, TBBCA has annually awarded six or more scholarships to some of the most talented and deserving Tampa Bay area high school students, providing valuable financial assistance.
The scholarship program is open to high school juniors and seniors in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties who excel at Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Theatre, Dance, Visual Arts, Literary Arts. Awardees are competitively selected based on talent and merit by judges who are experts in their field. The scholarship funds are paid directly to the university, college, or conservatory of the student’s choice to help defray tuition expenses for higher education in the arts.
