THE MATT PAPIRMEISTER AWARD

Every year, Youth Art For Healing presents the Matt Papirmeister Award to two high school seniors. Each of the two winners selected by the YAFH Board of Directors will receive a $3,000 scholarship toward their post-secondary education.

The award is in memory of Matt, cherished son of YAFH founder Jan Papirmeister and her husband Chuck, and brother of Sara. It is designed not only to commemorate Matt’s kind spirit and zest for life, but also to support student artists who are creating, giving, and doing good in their community.

To learn more, please visit the Matt Papirmeister Award page.

To endow the award, the YAFH Board of Directors matched the first $5,000 in donations for the award. You can donate to the Matt Papirmeister Award and help support talented student artists achieve their goals and dreams.
