CAMpFIRE Fund
The Contemporary Art Museum School Docent Alumni Scholarship is in honor of Gab Smith, the Executive Director of CAM from 2013- 2020 and a champion of CAM’s education and community programs.
The scholarship is to be awarded yearly to a graduating high school senior or current college student who is a former participant in the CAM Docent Program. This scholarship may be used for any form of higher education (college, culinary studies, technical industries, etc.…).
Known at CAM as the CAMpFIRE Fund, the “p” stands for provoke. CAM provokes FIRE. Provoke means to call forth or challenge. FIRE is the perfect greatness that burns in young people.
This year’s scholarship is offered to any Class of 2025 high school senior or current college student who participated in CAM’s docent program. (Excludes previous Scholarship Recipients)
Supporting the CAMpFIRE fund passes the torch to the next generation.
Scholarship award will be announced in June. A one-time award of $1,000 will be distributed to one selected winner.
Application deadline is April 30th. Submit your application to Education@camraleigh.org
