Cooper Union Outreach Program

I'm going to need to depend on more than just luck if I'm going to want to get into Cooper Union's Outreach Program.

Cooper Union's Outreach Program is a fully paid for scholarship program that lasts for about 5 weeks, meeting every Saturday for an entire day. Only 18 students from grades 10-12 get accepted, and you must live in the NYC/surrounding area. In order to get in however, you must be interviewed and have a portfolio of around 10-20 pieces.

I'm thinking of things to gather already because I'm planning to get in for the Winter 2012-2013.

Blah, I'm going to end up working my butt off for this.
Hopefully all my hard work will pay off.

But even if it doesn't, that isn't a problem either. I'll just possibly apply again. Also, I will just end up having done a lot more art then I would have if I didn't decide to apply to the program!

So in a way, it's a win-win situation either way.
