Sustainability in Environment, Art, and Creativity Scholarship

SIARA DESIGNS is excited to offer its financial support to students in all areas of study throughout the United States via the Sustainability in Environment, Art, and Creativity Scholarship. This scholarship, worth $2,500, demands that students critically examine the ways that various artistic mediums elaborate on the core tenets of sustainability.

SIARA DESIGNS takes great joy in marrying the relationship between nature, a person’s health, and the environment’s overall well-being. Students applying for the Sustainability in Environment, Art, and Creativity Scholarship are expected to submit 500 to 1,000-word essays for the team’s consideration.
