College can be very expensive and certain majors are even more expensive than others.  Having worked in Financial Aid I always suggest parents look for scholarships to help cut the cost of college and reduce the need for loans.  Are you a high school senior or college freshman and attending school for the Arts?  If that’s you or you know someone who qualifies then you should check out this scholarship from Wallpops.

Creating beautiful wall décor is Wallpops passion. This scholarship gives them the opportunity to support those who share their passion for design. It is their hope that by providing help to aspiring artists studying in creative fields, they will do a small part to foster their future success.  They also hope that their company will serve as an inspiration to talented individuals who seek careers in the creative sphere.
