Scholarships for 2016
The Bluebird Foundation is proud to announce that
the awarding of the third annual Audrey A. Lundeen
Scholarship at the Christmas by the Lake CD release
party on Wednesday, November 16, 2016, at the Clyde
Iron Works Event Center.
It is the mission of the Bluebird Foundation to be
an advocate for area youth in the performing arts
and to create awareness of the power of the arts to
enhance self-esteem, to increase understanding of
others, and to improve academic performance.
The scholarship is named to honor the late Audrey A. Lundeen,
the inspiration for the Bluebird Foundation. Audrey
was the mother of Bluebird founder and President
Tracy Lundeen.
The Audrey A. Lundeen Bluebird Scholarship is
intended for current high school seniors who plan to
pursue their interests in dance, theater, or music

advanced arts training beyond high school. The
student does not need to plan to major in dance,
theater, or music but must plan to do advanced
study/training to keep the arts a part of their
lives. A $1,500 scholarship will be awarded to one
senior to use for his/her advanced training in the
arts.
