“For the past 100 years, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have been a space for teens to push boundaries and make waves with their creative pursuits. The program has served as a launch pad for generations of artists, writers, and professionals in a wide variety of industries, with many luminaries attributing their confidence to pursue their careers to the Awards. Since their inception, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have encouraged millions of teens’ passions, talents, and perspectives, validating their creative abilities and the belief that their voices matter”.
Scholarship Description:
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards were established in 1923 and have inspired bold ideas in creative teens across the country for nearly a century. “Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have championed teens’ artistic endeavours and provided a space for creative young people to express themselves, and contribute their voices and ideas to a larger conversation.” The original works of art and writing we’ve acknowledged throughout the last century have not only been inspiring and thought-provoking, but they also reflect our country’s history, culture, difficulties, and successes.
