ATLANTA – Tombow is proud to announce the third annual Create Your Best Work Art Scholarship to aid two promising art students with tuition costs.
Tombow’s Create Your Best Work Art Scholarship is available to high school seniors graduating by June 2021 and college freshmen and sophomores in the United States. To qualify, students must be currently enrolled or accepted and seeking a visual arts degree at a U.S. university, college or art school.
“We are excited at the prospect of assisting two more up and coming art students with their tuition costs,” said Chief Marketing Director Cathy Daniel. “Every year the applications get better and better. No doubt this year we’ll see even more talented artists sharing their unique perspectives.”
The top two applicants will be awarded non-renewable scholarships to be used toward tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment required by the educational institution for the upcoming school year starting in Fall 2021.
The grand prize winner will receive a $5,000 scholarship, and one runner-up will receive a $2,500 scholarship. Tombow will notify scholarship recipients, and distribution of the scholarship will be made directly to each recipient.
Scholarship recipients will also receive a package of Tombow products for use in their works, with an approximate retail value of $500. In addition, the high school that the student graduated from will receive a package of Tombow products, with an approximate retail value of $500.
Product-only awards in the amount of $100 will be made to five additional runners-up. Awards will be distributed in July 2021.
Application deadline for the scholarship is March 1, 2021 – applications should be submitted digitally and include a portfolio, artist’s statement, letter(s) of recommendation and transcripts.
