I'm planning to major in graphic design in college and need to know about any scholarships available for this field. Are there specific ones for art majors or creatives? Any pointers on where to find them would be super helpful!
Sure, I can point you to some scholarships that are specifically tailored for art and design students.
1. The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers' Annual Scholastic Art & Design Awards: This scholarship offers different award categories, and you could specifically apply to those related to graphic design.
2. The Doodle for Google competition: If you've got illustration skills, this is a unique opportunity. Students are invited to create their own Google Doodle for the chance to have it featured on Google.com, as well as win some great scholarships.
3. AIGA Worldstudio Scholarships: Aimed at design students who are financially in need, these scholarships specifically support underrepresented and economically disadvantaged students who are studying design-related disciplines, including graphic design.
4. The National YoungArts Foundation: YoungArts' signature program is an application-based award for emerging artists ages 15–18 or in grades 10–12. Winners are eligible for cash awards as well as master classes and the chance to work with renowned mentors.
When searching for scholarships, it's important to be systematic and dedicated. Using platforms like Fastweb, Scholarships.com, and Appily to search and track available scholarships can also be helpful.
