Hi everyone! Mermaid Jessica and I came up with the idea of creating a scholarship where mermaids can apply to receive a free tail made by Mermaid Jessica. We understand that is is hard to make a tail and not all people have the money to buy one so we're excited to make another mermaid's dream come true. You can check it out at fishoutofwaterscholarship.webs.com
There is a lot more information and the application on the website. The deadline for the application is January 1st. After all applications are received, we will be picking three finalists who will be interviewed and given a chance to show us their ideas for a tail. Can't wait to see who applies and feel free to ask any questions :)

I'm so excited to work on this awesome project with Mermaid Eva! This is our chance to give back to the mermaid community. If it wasn't for mernetwork, I never would have known that it was possible to make a realistic tail myself. I am continually inspired by so many awesome mermaids on here, and I just can't wait to make another mermaid's dream a reality. ;)

You two are so sweeet! And those tails are so pretty! You're going to make some one a very happy mer! After my next paycheck, I will hopefully be able to donate to your efforts!

That is so cool!
I would love to donate some of my iridescent, translucent pectoral/heel/side fins to the cause! (I don't have a dorsal, yet), if you would like to add them!

Thanks everyone! We're super excited about the project.
Pearlie, thank you for offering to add your fins! They're so beautiful, I love them. I think we're going to wait and get some input on designs from the finalists before starting any planning for the tail.

Pearlie, your fins are stunning and that is so sweet of you to offer! It will be really nice to be able to have your fins as an option for the winner! ;)
Hi everyone! Eva and I are just so excited about this project! We've had several applications submitted already, and were hoping that more people enter! Please tell all your friends and maybe share a link to this thread or the website to help spread the word?! ;)

Not yet! :) We've been reading all the applications and it's a really hard decision! We will post on here when we've chosen the finalists and notify the finalists by email :)
we are so excited about this! Thank you so much to everyone who applied! All of you are so special and we really enjoyed reading all of your essays :)

We decided to go with five instead of three because all the applications were so good and it was nearly impossible to narrow it down. Emails have been sent out to the finalists with directions regarding the next steps to be taken. Thank you to everyone who applied. Everyone who applied would make a great candidate and if we could, we would give tails to everyone. Everyone should continue to pursue their dreams and work towards getting a tail if you don't already have one. It's very inspiring to see mermaids all over the world following their hearts :)

It was a VERY difficult decision! :) All of the applications submitted were wonderful, and we are so thankful to everyone that applied! It's so exciting to be able to make a mermaids dream of a new tail come true. We are so excited to hear back from all the finalists!
just to clarify though....I didn't pick myself! there is more than one Mermaid Jessica! :)
