Wimberley Valley Arts & Cultural Alliance (WimberleyArts.org) created the Robert Moreman Memorial Scholarship Fund to honor the memory of Robert Moreman, an active participant in this organization which was founded in 2013 by Cathy Moreman when she was director of the Wimberley Valley Chamber of Commerce. The scholarship is intended for graduating seniors from Wimberley high schools (WHS and KAPS) who demonstrate unusual accomplishment and professional commitment in one of WimberleyArts.org's four creative pillars: Performing, Visual, Literary and Culinarty Arts, as well as, in recognition of Robert's profession, Crafters and Makers in the building and related trades. This is an annual scholarship. Donations are being accepted now for 2025 scholarships.
