Worldstudio AIGA Scholarship
Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships benefit minority and economically disadvantaged students who are studying the design/arts disciplines in colleges and universities in the United States. Among the Foundation's primary aims are: * to increase diversity in the creative professions and * to foster social and environmental responsibility in the artists, designers, and studios of tomorrow. To this end, scholarship recipients are selected not only for their ability and their need, but also for their demonstrated commitment to giving back to the larger community through their work.
Qualifications
* Applicants must be pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in the fine or commercial arts, design or architecture – one or more of the design/arts disciplines below – and plan to enter a career in the creative professions. * Applicants must be matriculated (or planning to matriculate) at accredited colleges and universities in the United States for the Fall 2007/Spring 2008 academic year and intend on maintaining full-time status for the entire year. * International students studying at accredited colleges and universities in the United States may apply. * Incoming students who are undecided must submit proof of acceptance from schools of choice. * Though not a requirement, minority status is a significant factor considered in jury decisions. * Students must have at least a 2.0 GPA. * Scholarships are only awarded to those students who are in financial need. Applicants must, therefore, provide complete Financial Aid information on the scholarship form and have the form signed by his/her Financial Aid Officer.
