PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Michelle Dang of Pittsburgh has been awarded the GraphicDesignDegreeHub.com Creativity Scholarship for the spring 2021 semester. Dang, a graduate of Mt. Lebanon High School in Pittsburgh, PA, is a student at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
The $1,500 Graphic Design Creativity Scholarship award is to be used for tuition or academic supplies.
Dang has been very active in both her school and community. As a high school student, Dang and two other artists curated and hosted an art show entitled Earth and Space. They raised over $530 which they used to purchase art supplies for children in under-resourced West Virginia communities. In March 2020, Dang and two others commissioned drawings for 36 donors. They raised over $850, providing 4,250 meals for the Greater Pittsburgh Food Bank. Through this, I learned how art can be used to serve others, Dane said in her application.
