Following a successful inaugural year, the "Girls Who Illustrate Awesomeness" Scholarship application will open on Monday Oct. 2, 2017.

The "Girls Who Illustrate Awesomeness" Scholarship offers two $750 awards to young women or gender nonconforming individuals actively seeking to change the world.

We hope our program inspires other organizations to create new opportunities focused on reducing disparities."
