The entry deadline for the second awarding of Women In Animation's
Phyllis Craig Scholarship has been extended to June 30, 2001. Two WIA
members who want to learn the art of animation will receive $500
scholarships each on July 31, 2001. So apply now or encourage your
talented students to send in an application right away. Entry forms
are available on WIA's Website and you can become a WIA member when
you submit your scholarship application. As a Founding Member of
Women In Animation, Phyllis headed the Education Committee from the
start. Phyllis was a great believer in helping young people. She
started Film Roman Studio's highly successful internship program and
was the "studio mom." She encouraged many to further their education
and was unstinting in giving advice on schools, portfolios and
resumes. She helped a lot of us to get that first job. There can be
no better way to honor her memory then to help future artists gain
the education needed for our wonderful, wacky industry.
