As you all are probably aware that Grad is coming up, and girls and boys – mainly girls – are most likely trying to decide on what to wear! And yes, I know there are Facebook groups out there for girls to place dibs on dresses (’cause if someone wears the same dress… aaaawkward).
Now, what’s even better than buying a dress at a store? Making your OWN dress and entering your creation to win scholarships!
Scholarships can be tough when it comes to the ones with a gazillion questions, essays, and requirements for outstanding grades, so to those fashionistas out there, here’s your chance to show off your talents and get a hefty scholarship!
First off, Duck Tape – yes as in the actual duct tape – is offering three scholarship prizes to seven runner up COUPLES and their school. What you and a partner must do is create or decorate grad outfits with duct tape, wear them to grad, and of course, submit a picture to Duck Tape for a chance to win the scholarship prizes! Sounds fun, hey? Entry begins in less than 45 days so now is the time to find a partner and start taping!
Next, Bells and Bows Bridal Centre has one $1,000 scholarship for a Grade 10, 11, or 12 Alberta student who answers the question “what does inner beauty mean to you?” best. Their second prize is a $500 scholarship for the best sketch of a grad dress and a description of their inspiration for it. These two scholarships are great for those who value beauty and aspire to be in the fashion industry.
There are many more scholarships out there for those who love fashion and are creative, which can be found by searching “creative scholarships” on Google. And boys, you can apply for these scholarships too!
