Creative Black Womxn to Watch
Amplifying Black Womxn
The goal of this scholarship has always been to bolster underrepresented groups. To further our mission of amplifying underrepresented groups in the Creative ranks of our industry, we’ve decided that the Winter 2020 session of the scholarship will go to a Black student pursuing a career in the field.
