NATTO Scholarship (Patreon)

I'm pleased to announce that Joseph and I are offering the NATTO (National Art & Trade Tuition Opportunity) comics scholarship for the third time this year!  

NATTO is designed to give one aspiring art student—high school, college, graduate looking for further education, or returning college—additional funds to help pay for tuition, materials, or books.   It's for any artist interested in sequential art (comics, animation, storyboards) who wants to study art in college (undergrad or grad). This scholarship is applicable to both in-person and online art education. 

Interested?  You can apply at https://nattosoup.com/scholarship 

We are offering three small scholarships to help offset the costs of art education:

$1000

$500

$250You can apply if you have an online portfolio before June 30th 2022 and should expect to hear back sometime in July. You don't need to be the best to win, so if you're on the fence about submitting, please do and help spread the word if you have any artists in your life.

Who can apply? Anyone looking to return to school or resume education with a strong interest in sequential art—comics, children's books, animation, storyboarding.What schools are eligible?  Any school with an art program, including online art courses such as Schoolism.However, this is not for one-off, inexpensive online education services like Skillshare.

Some example free portfolio sites include: DA Portfolio; Webflow; Tumblr; Artstation.A short essay of no more than 500 words on the type of sequential art you hope to make or to continue making in the future. Please mind spelling and grammatical errors when submitting through Going Merry.
