Sub Pop Wants To Send You To School

Here’s a quick pop quiz for ya:

Are you a current high school senior?

Are you on your way to full-time enrollment at an accredited university or college?

Are you involved and/or interested in music and/or the creative arts?

Do you reside in Washington or Oregon?

If you answered a resounding yes to all of those questions you are officially eligible to apply for one of three scholarships that are being offered by the legendary indie-rock label from the Pacific Northwest – Sub Pop.
