Every year since 1981 the Society has held the Student Scholarship Competition. Over three hundred works are chosen from more than 8,700 entries submitted by professors of college-level students nationwide. In a competition which can kick start a career, students bring their most sophisticated, well-crafted and original work to be tested. A jury of professional peers, including illustrators and art directors, selects the most outstanding works created throughout the year. Pieces are accepted based on the quality of technique, concept and skill of medium used.
From the Society’s endowment, generous contributions from private and corporate donors, and proceeds from an annual auction of member-donated artworks, scholarship awards are granted to about 25 students whose work is deemed the best of the best.
We are proud of all of our students who entered work into the competition and thrilled to offer our congratulations to Austin Chapman (‘19), Shannon McLeroy (‘20) and Skylar Courtney (‘21)!! Way to go!!
Austin Chapman, Ghoul Hunter
Shannon McLeroy, Express Yourself
