GAEA Conference Fall 2024

The Dr. Helen Fleming Stone Scholarship is the highest honor and largest scholarship bestowed on a National Art Honor Society student by the Georgia Art Education Association.  Dr. Stone established and built the scholarship through diligent hard work and tireless effort.  As an artist she was a gifted sculptor and potter, so she sold her work to fund the scholarship.  By 2006, she had raised the impressive sum of $60,000 – one pot at a time.  Following her death in 2007, GAEA assumed responsibility for assisting the Stone family with the fundraising efforts, hosting a silent auction of donated artwork by GAEA members and their students.  The scholarship endowment has grown to more than $88,000 and will continue assisting Georgia’s young gifted artists in their studies for many generations to come.
