La Roche College and North Allegheny School District are proud to, once again, offer students in grades 7–12 the opportunity to compete for regional and national awards in art. The Pittsburgh Arts Region serves all of Allegheny and Butler counties. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards recognize student achievement in the visual arts and creative writing–in more than 30 categories, including poetry, graphic design, fashion and science fiction. At least 30,000 teen artists and writers will be recognized in the 96 regions throughout the country. The Awards offer opportunities for creative teens such as scholarships, recognition, exhibition, publication and signify to parents, teachers, community, and colleges that a student is an accomplished artist or writer. Each year, 15 recipients (eight visual artists and seven writers) receive the Portfolio Gold Award, plus $10,000. Through the Scholarship Provider Network, hundreds of seniors who are recognized with a national Award are eligible for nearly $4 million worth of college scholarships at 60 schools and universities.
