Each year, the AIGA DC Design Continuum Fund awards scholarships to underrepresented students pursuing art and design careers at colleges and universities in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Awards range from $500–$2500.
Applications for the 2024–25 year are now open. Apply by April 21, 2024.
Eligibility
- Applicants must be citizens of the United States or possess a green card (formally known as a Permanent Resident Card or Form I-551).
- Applicants must be pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in a design or art discipline and intend to pursue that discipline as a career.
- Applicants must be matriculated (or planning to matriculate) at accredited colleges and universities in Washington, DC, Maryland, or Virginia for the Fall 2024 / Spring 2025 academic year and must maintain full-time status for the entire year.
- Incoming students who have yet to enroll must submit proof of acceptance from schools of choice.
- Though not required, minority status is a significant factor considered in jury decisions.
- Students must have at least a 2.0 GPA.
- Scholarships are only awarded to students who can demonstrate financial need. Applicants must, therefore, provide complete financial aid information on the scholarship form and have the form signed by a financial aid officer.
