The SILA Scholarship Program
Empowering the Future
Our Scholarship Program is for students enrolled in an institution offering a full-time bachelors degree program. This program is a volunteer program and currently we are hoping a member will volunteer to chair the competition. We do have a scholarship through our annual competition, Illustration West. The show chairman is currently working on the Call for Entries and we'll be mailing information to the students first. The information will also be covered in SI-Blog-LA. And we also have the Larry Salk Scholarship - please see below for information. To be added to the database, send your mailing information to info@si-la.org

The recipients will each receive a year's membership in the Society of Illustrator's Los Angeles. Some of the benefits of joining the Society while a student include valuable networking with veteran illustrators at events throughout the year, space on our website for a portfolio, and information on upcoming gallery events.

Box 940310, Simi Valley, CA 93094 Entries will be judged by the Board of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles. Criteria will include execution, concept and originality. The Board will also evaluate which candidates' work best demonstrates commitment toward a professional career. All entries must be received by March 17, 2009.
