Support the Bob Chavez Scholarship for the Arts
Accepting contributions for scholarship funding Part of the IPCC’s mission is to preserve and perpetuate Pueblo culture, and a key element of that is investing in our youth. This scholarship is named in honor of Manuel “Bob” Chavez of Cochiti Pueblo, who dedicated 50 years as a volunteer teaching art at St. Catherine’s Indian School. Many students were able to explore Native arts and feel at home in Mr. Chavez’ classroom, and the IPCC is able to continue his legacy of encouragement by offering $2,500 scholarships each year to recent Pueblo high school seniors or college undergraduates who are pursuing visual arts in higher education. Initial scholarships are for $2,500 per student per year to help offset the initial costs of higher education, such as books, housing, tuition, and supplies.
