Six Valencia students awarded Photoshop World Scholarships

We just received word today from NAPP that six of our students were awarded scholarships to attend Photoshop World in Boston next month. Daissy Linares, Stacey Barton, Jonathan Manotti, Nejha Edwards, Ryan Shuhart, and Angela Scarlato have received the scholarship which includes full admission to Photoshop World (valued at $599) and a year NAPP membership (valued at $99). Their membership to NAPP will grant them access to NAPP’s web site filled with tutorials along with a subscription to the popular Photoshop User magazine. The Photoshop World scholarship program was created to give students a chance to learn breakthrough techniques and network with graphics professionals at Photoshop World. I have no doubt that this will be a memorable experience for our students who will likely return filled with photoshop design techniques that will benefit future projects they complete.

We were also informed that I was finalist in the Dean Collins Scholarship for educators. I’m definitely honored to be nominated. Although I wasn’t awarded the scholarship which includes full admission, membership, airfare, and hotel – I was generously offered free admission to Photoshop World and a year NAPP membership. Most of you heard my big news last week, which could possibly prevent me from attending. But who knows, hopefully I will be able to accompany the students to this awesome event. Regardless, I couldn’t be more proud to have our students representing Valencia at this event.
