Featured Winners
Alumni
Scholastic Art & Writing Award winners have gone on to have lucrative careers in the arts and literary fields, as well as in creative industries such as advertising, medicine and design. For many, winning a Scholastic Award gave them the confidence and the resolve to commit to creative lives.
