It’s time to hold back your hatred and distrust for all things Diamond Distributors, as they give back to the community:
“Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. is proud to partner with The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) to award an aspiring cartoonist a full one-year tuition scholarship at The Center for Cartoon Studies beginning in fall 2007.”
That tuition is equivalent to $15,000, and is applicable only for the year beginning fall 2007. Applications are due February 2007.

I heard about this last week and I checked the fine print. To be eligible for the scholarship you have to apply to the school which includes a non-refundable $50 application fee, and the scholarship is only for the 2007 term (it can’t be applied to a later year). You also need to be sponsered by a Diamond retailer.
I had never heard of the CCS before. It seems like a nice program. It’s expensive, but it looks like it would be worth for a serious cartoonist (and still cheaper than art school).
