Art is an Adventure - Yvonne Scheiner Memorial Scholarship

Visual & Graphic Art Scholarship
In memory of local artist Yvonne A. Scheiner. Yvonne Scheiner graduated from EFSC (then BCC) with her AA degree in 2004 and was a resident of Port St. John, FL for 27 years. She was married to William J. Scheiner and mother to Lily and Isla. Yvonne had a passion and talent for art from a very young age. She participated in painting “Harry” the manatee on a wall mural at Space Coast Jr/Sr High school when she was only in 8th grade. Yvonne also sold her art at local art & craft events in Brevard. Before her passing she was employed as an artist at Painting with a Twist in Cocoa, FL. Taken from us too soon, Yvonne lost her battle with cancer at age 37. This $500 scholarship was started in her memory by Yvonne’s sister, Dawn Niehoff.
