This scholarship for art students was established in honor of Arthur John Nilson, Jr., a proud TU alumnus who received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1962. Mr. Nilson passed away in 1979.

Jack and Helen Nilson, along with other family members and friends, made generous gifts to create this scholarship fund, honoring the artistic legacy of John Nilson. The fund provided financial assistance to deserving art students who followed in his footsteps at TU.
