Phyllis Craig Scholarship
WIA founding member Phyllis Craig was known throughout the animation industry for her commitment to young people interested in learning the art and techniques of animation. For many years, Phyllis spearheaded an internship program, and is responsible for helping countless “kids” fulfill their dreams of becoming animation industry professionals.
When we lost our dear friend Phyllis, the founding members of Women In Animation created a special fund to honor her legacy. The fund provides scholarships to students who demonstrate artistic talent and have a passion for animation.
Every year a $1000 scholarship is given to one deserving animation student, along with a one-year membership in Women In Animation. The annual beginning submission date is September 15th. The yearly deadline is April 29th (Phyllis Craig’s birthday) and winners will be notified by July 1st.
