The Enrichment Scholarship was given to one or more students until 2009, when AIGA SF changed the process to include one dedicated scholarship for each college or university that had an AIGA Student Group. The Rick Tharp Scholarship was awarded for the first time in 2009 to the top overall design student from the participating Bay Area Schools.
