Where can international students find graphic design scholarships?

I'm an international high school student aspiring to study graphic design in college. Does anyone have tips on finding scholarships specifically for graphic design students like me? Any resources or programs you recommend checking out?

Great that you're already looking into scholarships for your desired field! Scholarship hunting can be a meticulous process, but definitely worth the effort.

I suggest starting your search with professional organizations in the field of graphic design. They often support aspiring members by offering scholarships to students. For instance, AIGA, a professional organization for design, has an annual scholarship program. Additionally, the Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation (GCSF) offers scholarships to students interested in graphic design and related fields.

Another way is to look at individual universities that offer graphic design programs. Some may have scholarships specifically for their graphic design students. These can sometimes be more comprehensive as they may cover a larger portion of your tuition and may also be less competitive because they are niche-specific within the university.

For a general database to search for scholarships, you can create a profile with Appily. You can filter scholarships based on your interests, majors, and other criteria. Appily compiles scholarships from various sources and updates its database frequently so it might be a good starting point.

One word of caution though, always make sure to read the eligibility requirements carefully. Some scholarships may be limited to U.S. students, while others are open internationally.

Good luck with your scholarship journey, and I wish you all the best in your pursuit of a career in graphic design!
