FEES
Scholastic Art assesses a $10 fee per individual entry and $30 per senior portfolio.
DO NOT LET THE ENTRY FEE DISCOURAGE YOU--- KEEP READING
National Scholastic offers fee waivers for students who qualify. Qualifying students are typically those who receive free or reduced meals at school, or similar support or need. Students individually self-determine if a $10/entry fee would be a financial hardship for them. (Absolutely no one is collecting IRS 1040 forms to verify this.)
When students get to the “pay” section for their entries, they should see that the fee is either "waived" or check “pay by check”---- which is really a great big check from Nordson on behalf of the whole region.
Although all remaining entries are generously paid for by the Nordson Corporation, if a student qualifies for a fee waiver, then they should select that option to more accurately reflect the demographic of our area for our funder and to decrease our "ask" of Nordson.
BOTTOM LINE--- YOUR STUDENTS PAY NOTHING, PERIOD
No student entering, either with or without financial need, will be asked for a single penny.
5 individual entries per student
1 portfolio entry per senior
