The Enrichment Scholarship was created by AIGA San Francisco to enhance the quality and diversity of design education. Winners will receive a scholarship worth $500 which may be used to underwrite the cost of their design education or to pay for a supplemental program, such as attending a design conference or participating in a class or workshop.

Three students from each of 10 participating schools were selected to enter. Scholarship winners were chosen by a panel of judges. One overall winner was awarded the Rick Tharp Scholarship. Contact your AIGA faculty sponsor for more information on how to participate.

The Enrichment Scholarship award was based on the overall excellence of the student’s work and his/her strong academic achievement. Applicants chosen by each school were reviewed by the 2009 Enrichment Scholarship Judging Committee. The final awards were subject to review and approval by AIGA SF’s Board of Directors.

Make an online tax-deductible donation to the Enrichment or Tharp Scholarships.

The scholarship recipients are awarded on Portfolio Day.
