Scholarship deadline…ONE WEEK AND COUNTING

Attention students: the deadline for the Jay Kennedy Scholarship is approaching fast.

Applicants must be college students in the United States, Canada or Mexico that will be in their Junior or Senior year of college during the 2009-2010 academic year. Applicants DO NOT have to be art majors to be eligible for this scholarship.

Along with a completed entry form, applicants are required to send 5 samples of their own cartooning artwork; noting if and where the work has been published (either print or web).

DEADLINE: ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED BY FEBRUARY 6, 2009

The application form and full instructions can be found at the NCS Foundation website.

Last year, a $5,000 scholarship and a trip to the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award convention were given to Juana Medina who recounts the experience at Mike Lynch’s blog.
