Scholarship details
Are you willing to influence your community with your artistic talents? The Expressions of Walgreens Challenge. The 2022 application was started at the suggestion of your Wal Greens Community Task Force.
The group had been alerted by the increasing incidences of sexually transmitted infections (STDs), including HIV and AIDS, among students aged 14 to 18.
How, the group wondered, could students find creative ways to express themselves on some pretty serious issues while staying more connected with their own peers in the process?
About Expressions Challenge Initiative
At its core, the Expressions Challenge 2022 is about guiding students to make smarter life choices about their overall wellness.
There is no more personal or self-revealing form of reflection in relation to art.
By combining artistic saying with individual student study, the student enables students to positively influence their peers, both at school and in the community.
Teens are invited to use their own voice during the art to communicate their own perspective on issues related to bullying, self-esteem, and sexual responsibility.
About Walgreen
Walgreens, a company dedicated to helping people live well, stay and live well, is excited to help students find their authentic voice on these sensitive issues. We’re equally pleased that Expressions has come to be a counterweight to its sometimes idealized images and unrealistic expectations around personal relationships.
Students have never been given unlimited access to information and the ability to broadcast this information globally.
We believe that the peer-reviewed messages that students are now sending through the Walgreens Expressions Challenge are on point and are being heard loud and clear around the world.
