Worldstudio AIGA Scholarship
Worldstudio Foundation in conjunction with AIGA provide scholarships to minority and economically disadvantaged students who are studying the design/arts disciplines in colleges and universities in the United States.

Among the scholarship'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.

Basic scholarships are awarded in the amounts of $1000, $1500 and $2000.

One or two top awards are also given in the amount of $5000 at the jury's discretion.

These awards are paid directly to your school and applied toward tuition or other college expenses.

In addition, Honorable Mention prizes in the amount of $100 cash are awarded.

Entries will be evaluated by a jury of creative professionals appointed by Worldstudio Foundation and AIGA.

In selecting the winning entries, jurors will take into account a number of factors, including: quality of submitted work, financial need, minority status, academic record, recommendations, and strength of written Statement of Purpose.
