Well, I was surfing dA and filling out a pile of scholarship applications and I thought, hey, dA doesn't have a scholarship!

So I got to thinking, what if dA members got together and donated a little $500 (USD) scholarship to a deserving member who is in high school or college and is planning on pursuing a career in art? You know, like majoring in Creative writing, Art, Culinary Arts, Graphic Design, etc. If we raised more than that, maybe we could give out more than one.Right now it's still all up in the air.

It wouldn't be a random deviant picking, or a "who's the best artist/ who draws the best yaoi" type of thing, but rather a scholarship for someone who really wants and needs it. There aren't a lot of Art Major scholarships out there, and I\'d really like to see this take off, and hopefully get backed by the dA administration, but in order for that to happen, I need the backing of the dA members.

There's a lot you can do to help get this thing up and going.
You could
-Spread the word
-Post a Link in your sig
-Write a Journal
-Plan to Donate

...or something of that nature. Any help/feedback we can get would be greatly appreciated. If there is enough support for this, we'll start a dA account and see about getting donations and start accepting applications.

If you like the idea, go and spread the word !
