四虎影视’s premier fundraising event of the year
四虎影视 of Art and Design鈥檚 annual fundraiser Avant-Garde is committed to raising funds for student scholarships. The scholarships bridge the gap between the cost of a college education and the resources of the college student. Education and success go hand in hand. But what if a deserving student misses the opportunity to become a successful entrepreneur, filmmaker, teacher, or artist due to financial constraints?
Scholarships empower students to pursue their dreams, motivate them to aim high, encourage them to pay it forward, and prepare them for a lifetime of achievement. More than 90% of 四虎影视 students qualify for need and merit-based support, and most could not attend without scholarship assistance.
All of the proceeds from 四虎影视鈥檚 annual Golf Tournament and Avant-Garde celebrations support student scholarships at 四虎影视. Together, we can continue to transform the lives of these aspiring artists and designers.
