Donor Supported Scholarship

The Thomas G. and Marita A. Halko Endowed Scholarship

The Thomas G. and Marita A. Halko Endowed Scholarship was established by Thomas and Marita Halko in 2022. Thomas and Marita’s son, Stephen Halko, is the Dean of Academic Affairs at Kendall College of Art and Design (KCAD) and a professional artist whose works have appeared in solo, group, and invitational exhibition formats nationally and internationally. The Halkos are incredibly supportive of their son’s work in the art and design world. They created the Thomas G. and Marita A. Halko Endowed Scholarship to commemorate their support and to provide financial assistance to undergraduate Kendall College of Art and Design (KCAD) students with a preference for students with financial need.
