The deadline for the Jay Kennedy Memorial Scholarship is Dec. 15. Applicants must be students at a 4-year college in the United States, Canada or Mexico who will be a Junior or Senior during the 2012-2013 academic year. Applicants do not have to be art majors to be eligible for this scholarship.

I’m still trying to get confirmation of what the winner will receive, but last year’s winner got the following:

• $5,000 monetary award
• Trip to the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Weekend.

To enter:

• 8 samples of your own cartooning artwork (copies only); noting if and where the work has been published — either in print or on the Web.
• Print out the samples AND copy them to a CD.
• Files should be no larger than 8.5×11″ and no more than 300 dpi.
• DO NOT send original artwork.
• Completed entry form.
• Download the PDF of the entry form for more details.
