Kayla Nicole Cline, Cartoonist of the Future!

2011 CLAW Scholarship winner Kayla Cline

Every year The CLAW selects one lucky “at risk youth” (at risk of being seriously awesome) and awards them the YOUNG CARTOONIST OF THE FUTURE Scholarship consisting of a over-sized novelty check for photographic purposes and a large sum of money. This year The CLAW was able to AWARD $908.24 dollars to Ms. Kayla Nicole Cline, an art student at Memphis College of Art in Memphis, Tennessee.
