Enrichment Scholarship

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.

Three students from each of 12 participating schools will be selected to enter. Students must be AIGA members to enter but they can join at that time. A panel of independent judges will select one final scholarship winner from each school. One overall winner will be awarded the Rick Tharp Scholarship. Contact your AIGA faculty sponsor for more information on how to participate. The final awards are 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.
