Nicola Macdonald, scholarship awardee
Nicola Macdonald is a dual master’s student in Art History and Arts Management at George Mason University. Originally from Durban, South Africa, she came to the United States in 2017 on a swimming and academic scholarship to complete her undergraduate degree at Barton College, where she graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in Art and Design.
Nicola shares how an Arts Management Scholarship has impacted her: "Being a scholarship recipient has had a significant impact on my graduate experience. It has eased the financial burden of pursuing my studies, which has allowed me to focus more fully on my coursework and professional growth. Without the added stress of financial constraints, I’ve been able to dedicate myself to developing my skills and taking advantage of opportunities like internships, projects, and leadership roles. I really would not be able to have continued my studies without the financial help the Arts Management program has offered me. This support has not only motivated me to work harder but has also encouraged me to think about how I can give back to my community in the future."
