SCHOLARSHIPS

Ardath D. Rypkema Memorial Trust

The Ardath D. Rypkema Educational Memorial Trust was established to match or provide tuition assistance for students to enroll in visual or performing arts classes at the Dahl Arts Center. Scholarships are open to enrolled Rapid City School District students in K-12 grades. Interested students should fill out application with their parents and return it to the Rapid City Arts Council/Dahl Arts Center (RCAC/Dahl) two weeks before the start of the selected class. Selection is based on financial need, artistic ability/interest, educational need or potential. Preference is given to students with financial need.

Download the application HERE, fill out one application per student, per class, & email the application to katie.wolff@thedahl.org.
Contact our Education Coordinator, Katie Wolff, with any additional questions.
On behalf of the Rapid City Arts Council, the Dahl staff, Board of Directors, and our volunteers, we would like to express our sincere gratitude and thank the City of Rapid City for their ongoing support of our organization. It is because of support like this that we are able to continue to fulfill our mission to champion inclusive, innovative and inspired arts opportunities to enrich the communities we serve. 

The Rapid City Arts Council receives support from generous members and donors, the City of Rapid City,  SD Community Foundation, and the South Dakota Arts Council with funds from the State of South Dakota, through the Department of Tourism and the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thanks to Bierschbach Equipment and Supply and Dakota Business Center, Carter Taylor.

​​The Dahl Arts Center is a municipal facility managed by the Rapid City Arts Council and owned by the City of Rapid City.​
