Summer Workshop Scholarships

Summer Workshop Registration is Open!

Did you know about the scholarships for CCS Summer Workshops? The workshops are coming up and if you are looking to get some help to attend, it’s possible! You can get a needs-based scholarship to help cover the cost of the class tuition through The Center for Cartoon Studies.

There are currently two scholarships. One is a general scholarship (up to 40%), which is dependent on annual household income. This is one a first-come-first-served basis; funds are allocated per class. Second is an Upper Valley–specific scholarship for those located in the vicinity of the school.

For the third year in a row, The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) has donated a full scholarship to the Vermont Department of Libraries so a Vermont teen can attend the Create Comics summer workshop.

Create Comics is a ‘boot camp’ for cartoonists. The 5-day workshop packs in the essentials for producing your own comics. Through lectures, exercises, and group projects, students learn about story structure, page composition, pacing, materials and techniques, character design, drawing, environmental drawing, and production. Students collaborate on a comic anthology that they self-publish during the workshop. Create Comics is for both beginner and advanced students age 16 and over.

Any Vermont student age 16 or older (must be 16 years old by July 18, 2011) is eligible. This year the workshop will take place in White River Junction, Vermont, July 18-22, 2011. This full scholarship, includes the workshop, supplies, light breakfast, full lunch and evening student activities. Vermonters interested in the scholarship should apply through the local school or public library.
