Support our Scholarships

Those of you who have been to La Romita understand that the experience is much more than day-trips and delicious meals – it changes lives. Many of our scholarship winners have used the experience to make noteworthy contributions to La Romita’s own community and the greater creative community. Scholarships are not just a way to change someone else’s life, but a way to change all of ours.

We are asking you to donate in order to help us bring your sisters and brothers in the arts to La Romita through our Scholarship program.

How We’re Doing

Since the Scholarship Committee was formed in 2016, we’ve received roughly 20 applications and awarded 11 scholarships, averaging $3000/year from the Dolores Levin Memorial Scholarship fund and matched with approximately $1500/year in General Scholarships. In the time between the receipt of Delores Levin’s bequest and the formation of the Scholarship Committee, we have awarded around $12,000, with additional donations to Ball State University and others of around $8000. All said, since 2010 La Romita has disbursed around $33,500 in donations and scholarships to further our mission.

The Delores Levin Fund now stands at a little over half of her original bequest, the result of our cautious husbanding of this precious resource. We would love to award more scholarships and bring more people to La Romita, but to do so we need your help.
