Anna Lamar Switzer Endowed Scholarship art visual arts

207213, 207271, 207313

The Switzer and Reilly families established this endowment in 1998 in memory of Anna Lamar Switzer. Anna Ashley Lamar was born on September 11, 1900 in Valdosta, Georgia and moved to Pensacola in 1903. Shortly after, her father, a banker, founded what would become Lamar Outdoor Advertising. Anna married in 1924, becoming a Switzer, and traveled extensively during her husband's 45-year naval career. When they retired in Pensacola, Mrs. Switzer continued her close association with the Navy, becoming a community and political activist and a local patron of the arts. Mrs. Switzer was the first woman named to the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation Board, a lifetime member of the Pensacola Historical Society, president of the Pensacola Art Association, and an honorary trustee of the Pensacola Museum of Art. She also enjoyed writing, and she authored The Lamar Heritage, published in 1972. Anna Switzer died March 27, 1998, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery with her husband and sons.

How these are worked out
  • Our grade. From three facts the sponsor published. How few can apply: one high school or city 3 points, a county 2, the state 1, the whole country 0. How much it pays: $10,000 or more, or at least half of tuition, 3; $2,500 or more 2; $1,000 or more 1. Paid again in later years: 1. A is 4 points or more, B 3, C 2, D 0 or 1.
  • How narrow the field is. Read from where the sponsor restricts it. An award open to one high school is competing against a graduating class.
  • Value for the effort. The published amount divided by the 30 minutes the sponsor's own requirements take.
  • Conditions to meet. The conditions the sponsor published, each listed under Who can apply. More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
  • None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.
