I just love learning about every possible way for kids to get money for college and this is a fun one, that’s for sure! The Gallery Collection is having a design-a-greeting-card contest for $10,000 in scholarship money! The contest is for high school, college, and university students. The kids have to be at least fourteen years old.

The part that I think is really cool is that photos, artwork, and computer graphics are welcome to be a part of your entry card! That is a lot of leeway room to explore and create! I would love it if they would make a book of all of the entries, so we could see what everyone designs!
They could just make it one of their extra ‘catalogs’, except that the cards wouldn’t really be for sale. ;) I don’t know if they would really want to do that. But they do have a lot of cards for sale, with an extensive selection of business christmas cards.

I think it’s really awesome that a greeting card company, a company you don’t normally associate with education, is running a scholarship contest! That is a great way to give back to the community!

The one thing about the contest that I’m not sure about, though, is the age limit thing. They say that you must be at least fourteen years old, but, in the sign up form - the lowest grade level is ninth grade. My son, being born in September, is a fourteen year old eighth grader. I will have to contact them and see if I can get him in the contest or not.

At any rate, it is a wonderful thing they are doing! Way to go, Gallery Collection!
