for Artists for World Peace
by Priscilla Bustamante, Sarice Greenstein, Rithi Mathias, and Mariel Matze
In collaboration with a community organization, Artists for World Peace (AFWP), a research team of four Wesleyan students studied the factors that influence whether low-income high school students from Middlesex County who are interested in the arts will:
- Attend college rather than enter the work force;
- Attend a four-year college instead of a two-year college such as a community college; and/or
- Continue to study and pursue their interest in the arts after they graduate high school.
Data were obtained in order to assist AFWP develop a potential scholarship for low-income art students.
