Parsons 2012 Zankel Scholar nominees

This past spring Juniors Franca BaroneKristin Chae, Leigh CunninghamMeghann Stephenson, and Janet Sung were selected by the faculty as our school’s nominees for the the Society of Illustrators Zankel Scholarship. The annual competition is open to full-time Illustration majors completing their Junior Year from schools throughout the United States. A renowned jury of illustrators chooses one student- the best of the Junior class- and financially supports the student’s Senior year with a scholarship of $20,000. We were very proud to have them represent the Parsons Illustration Program.
