State Treasurer David McRae launched the 2022 College Savings Mississippi Art Contest. All PreK-12 students are eligible to enter. Contest winners will receive a scholarship worth up to $500 in the form of a Mississippi Affordable College Savings (MACS) account.
"Art is about seeing the ordinary from a new perspective," said Treasurer McRae.
"That skill set is the same required to succeed in higher education and
the workforce. I look forward to seeing the hard work and creativity of
Mississippi's young people and am hopeful the winning scholarships will
serve as a launching pad for recipients to pursue an education of their
choice."
The contest period runs today through February 28, 2022.
Mississippi students are asked to create a work of art answering the
question: What do you want to be when you grow up?
