Congratulations 2012 Scholarship Recipients!
We are always thrilled to announce another round of wfla National Scholarship winners. With college expenses increasing each year, it becomes more difficult for students to reach their educational goals. That is why wfla is proud to offer 25 scholarships to ease the financial burden of college expenses.

2012 Youth Art Contest
This year our theme is Favorite Summer Activity. Draw your favorite summer activity that you like to do with your friends or family. Be creative in how you picture that activity. Check out our web site with last year’s winners under the contest tab on the left.
Art education develops self-esteem, appreciation of the work of others, self-expression, cooperation with others, and critical thinking skills. These skills are vital to the success of our future leaders, our children.
