John Stewart Fine Arts Memorial Scholarship

In January 1999, the John Stewart Fine Arts Memorial Scholarship was established at Eastfield College in memory of Dr. John Stewart. He retired as Dean of Arts and Letters at Eastfield College. John Stewart's greatest joy came when he was able to wittness a student's discovery of the full life through the unique experiences found in the arts. He believed not only in the beauties and disciplines of the arts; but was convinced that we become better persons by our participation in and understanding of theater, painting, dance, and/or music.
