Creative Scholarships with February Deadlines

 

creative scholarships

Most Fridays I like to highlight scholarships and this week is no exception. You’ve heard me say that there are scholarships available for all types of students, even if they aren’t A+ students, athletes or student leaders. Today’s scholarships are for those students who exhibit creativity and talent in the arts. The deadlines are mid-late February, giving your student plenty of time to submit an application.
