this year’s scholarship has been such an honor to hold- from the moment we started receiving applications i’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of talent among applicants from all across the country (and canada). we had over 2,000 applicants this year and with the help of everyone at d*s and our incredible sponsors- 2modern, domino magazine, paper studio and alison riley- we narrowed down the 2,000 to 12. thousands of you voted and now the results are in! so without further a do, here are the winners of the 2008 d*s scholarship. congratulations to all of them and a big thank you to all of the incredibly talented students who entered this year’s scholarship contest.
and a special thank you again to this year’s sponsors who made it possible to give away over $11,000 is scholarship funds. thank you to: domino magazine, 2modern.com, paper studio and alison riley of set editions.
