Ursuline Visual Arts Department Announces Recipients of the Katherine Bolka Endowed Scholarship

Congratulations to Zeyu "Vivian" Xu '26 and Paolina Hunt '26, who were awarded the Katherine Bolka Endowed Scholarship for Academic and Visual Arts Excellence. 

The Katherine Bolka Endowed Scholarship for Academic and Visual Arts Excellence is awarded annually to a rising senior who has distinguished herself as an art student. Katie Bolka’s tragic death, when her car was struck by another driver at the end of her junior year in 2006, ended the life of a promising artist and a beloved daughter, sister, and student at Ursuline. Through the generosity of those who loved her, Ursuline keeps her memory alive by ensuring that other young women who share Katie’s zest and quest for life, academic prowess, and artistic talents are given the opportunity to realize their potential.
