On Friday 11 March 2022, four Luxembourg students received scholarships from the Auguste van Werveke-Hanno Foundation for higher studies in architecture and fine arts.
The Auguste van Werveke-Hanno Foundation was founded in 2002 under the will of the late Anita van Werveke and in memory of her father, Auguste van Werveke-Hanno, and his lifetime profession of drawing (1896-1920) at the École d'artisans de l’État (currently Lycée technique des arts et métiers).
In July 2021, the Foundation was transformed into a sheltered foundation of the Luxembourg Foundation, which now manages it administratively and financially. This year, for the first time, the scholarships are awarded under the auspices of the Luxembourg Foundation.
The scholarships are awarded to young people from Luxembourg who are pursuing higher studies in architecture or the fine arts: free arts, advertising/multimedia, interior design/decoration or design. The selection is made on the basis of applications and scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit, advancement of studies and personal productions.
For the current academic year, four new scholarships each worth €5,000 have been awarded to Lynn Scheidweiler and Catherine Duboutay in the field of fine arts and to Piotr Pawliszyn and Audrey Verstraeten in the field of architecture.
