Melanie Anne Eggleston receiving the CLAW Student Scholarship for 2013

Each year The Cartoonist League of Absurd Washingtonians collects funds both from private donations and through its services to the community to bestow on one lucky art student. The dozen students that applied were reviewed by the CLAW membership via their applications that included previous history of awards, letters of recommendation, essays, and most importantly – samples of their cartooning skills. The competition for the scholarship was fierce with one vote deciding the outcome. The CLAW is please to announce that Melanie Anne Eggleston receives the vast sum of the 2013 CLAW Student Scholarship, $1,059.10, to spend on further education herself in the sequential arts.
