How Can You Help?

Each year, several dozen talented Harris County students in grades 7-12 from both public and private schools earn national acclaim among thousands of competitors as Scholastic Art & Writing winners.

First, students must win the regional competition sponsored by Harris County Department of Education. Next, they compete in the national arena. Scholastic Art & Writing rewards these students with an invitation to attend a prestigious awards ceremony at New York City’s Carnegie Hall.

• You can help make a student’s dream come true with your $2,000 sponsorship. Your sponsorship or donation pays for air fare, hotel and meals while the honoree blazes the path across Carnegie Hall.

• Students honored gain scholarships for college, network with art and writing professionals and attend seminars and workshops. These impressions will last a lifetime.

• Make a dream come true by sponsoring a student’s trip to Carnegie Hall.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

ational winner Leah Bydalek: 2013 winner from Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in Harris County, art portfolio Gold medalist (now attending University of Houston): “This award confirms that my work has meaning to an audience outside of myself…that I am able to continue to pursue what I love, and that I have the capacity to use art to influence more than I thought I was capable of. No words can express my gratitude for this program.”
