GLOBAL SCHOLARSHIPS increase international student representation and help us promote world friendship through the universal language of the arts
The eager creatives who flourish at Interlochen make its community uniquely vibrant through the diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences they bring to campus. Interlochen strives to become an even more inclusive space, and as always, donor philanthropy is leading the way — such as through a new scholarship that offers a special invitation to our neighbors across the northern border. Williams Family Endowed Scholarship The Williams Family Endowed Scholarship is awarded to Canadian students, increasing the diversity of international students at Camp or Academy. Established in 2022, this commitment was born of family affinity for Interlochen: Charlene Moore and Glynn Williams were moved to give after their daughter, Kendra, now a professional actress, enjoyed transformative experiences at Camp and its Interlochen Shakespeare Festival. Glynn serves on Interlochen’s Board of Trustees and has done so for a decade, including four years as its chair. Now, he serves as chair of this effort to fulfill the fundraising aspirations of Vision 2028. The first student to benefit from the Williams’ new scholarship is Chloe S., a visual arts major at Academy from southern Ontario.
Before coming to Interlochen, I had only ever
worked in acrylic paint in my small bedroom
on my farm. Since coming to Interlochen, I’ve
had the opportunity to explore, play, create,
and transform my artistic practice with
various mediums. The visual arts community
at Interlochen has given me unlimited support
and creative freedom to explore myself through
my practice, and in turn, it has given me a
better outlet to understand myself.
