My friend Lisa is a fine arts student who dreams of becoming a Holiday card<\/a><\/strong> designer. I have been trying to find a way to help her use her skills, or maybe just learn how to get some recognition for her designs which could help her get a job after college. So when I heard of the Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship contest, I was really excited to tell her.<\/p>\n

Lisa\u2019s driving force is the support she receives from her family, friends, and professors, and she couldn\u2019t wait to get started on her entry for the scholarship. Lisa designed a beautiful card depicting a Christmas inspired living room with a Christmas tree and stockings and greeting cards hanging from the mantle. It was a true work of art, and she told me that she felt like an actual artist and not just a student doing another assignment.<\/p>\n

For Lisa, creating an entry for the scholarship contest validated her aspiration of becoming a greeting card designer. She submitted her design and now she just has to wait to see if her Christmas card<\/strong><\/a> is chosen as the winner of the $10,000 scholarship prize, which would help tremendously in paying for her college tuition. After all \u2013 it isn\u2019t everyday that you find out about a scholarship such as this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
