An Old Fashioned Bar-B-Cue

The Sierra College Patrons, a branch of the Sierra College Foundation, are dedicated to promoting the Arts and Humanities and to providing cultural enrichment to the community. Proceeds from Patron-sponsored events, in the form of grants and scholarships, are awarded to Sierra College Students in support of Arts and Humanities programs.

Patrons award two annual $5,000 scholarships to students in Arts (music, art, theatre, etc.).
Patrons award $1,000 to students competing in the annual student art show.
