The Democratic Party of Saline County (DPSC) will offer their first-ever scholarship opportunity, open to all high-school juniors and seniors in Saline County. Many scholarships require an essay, but this one asks for a mural design.

This unique scholarship invites students to submit designs for a mural. The theme will be “And Justice for All.” The committee encourages all eligible Saline County students to reflect on our country’s stated values of equal opportunity and justice in their designs, and to showcase their creativity and vision for a brighter future by applying for this first-of-its-kind scholarship opportunity.

Applicants must submit a mural design, accompanied by a brief written explanation/summary of their design. The design itself should be in a landscape, rectangular format with an estimated 1:3 height-width ratio. The written portion should detail how the design represents “Justice For All” along with providing their college and career plans, and why they believe they should be selected as the recipient of the scholarship.
