Arts, Media & Storytelling Scholarship
For writers, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists, and artists.
For girls who make things people read, watch, hear, or wear. Creative work is economic work: design, media, and entertainment employ millions, and the people who tell the stories shape what everyone else believes is possible.
Past-style uses: a camera or microphone, design software, a portfolio website, a writing workshop, art supplies, festival submission fees.
