Democratic party of saline county 2025 scholarship

The DPSC is proud to offer this opportunity to the youth in our community!

The Democratic Party of Saline County (DPSC) is excited to announce our first-ever scholarship opportunity, open to all high-school juniors and seniors in Saline County! This unique scholarship invites students to submit designs for a mural based on the theme “And Justice for All.” We encourage all eligible Saline County students to reflect on our country’s stated values of equal opportunity and justice in their designs, and to showcase their creativity and vision for a brighter future by applying for this first-of-its-kind scholarship opportunity!

The winning student(s) will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to collaborate with an experienced muralist to finalize their vision and bring it to life. The mural will be displayed on the side of the DPSC’s headquarters building, located at 101 South Market Street, Benton, Arkansas. This collaboration provides students with hands-on experience in public art and the chance to contribute to a meaningful project that reflects the values of justice and equality in Saline County, Arkansas.
