Want Some Free Money for School?
Again this year, IDSA will award two $2,500 Undergraduate Scholarships and one $1,500 Gianninoto Graduate Scholarship to eligible design students. Could one of those recipients be you or one of your students?
Undergraduate Scholarships will be awarded to two full-time industrial design students in their next-to-final year (third-year in a four-year program or fourth-year in a five-year program) who have earned a "B" or better cumulative average since entering the program. Applicants must also be a member of a current IDSA Student Chapter and be a US citizen or US resident. Scholarship applications are due June 1, 2008; application guidelines and forms can be found at http://www.idsa.org/absolutenm/ templates/?a=120&z=49.
IDSA's Gianninoto Graduate Scholarship was originally established by a contribution from famed package designer Francesco Gianninoto, FIDSA, a founder of the Package Design Council and creator of iconic designs such as "Elsie Daisy" the Borden Cow and the mid-1950s Marlboro cigarette package.
The Gianninoto Graduate Scholarship will be awarded to a senior industrial design student currently applying to graduate school, a student currently enrolled in a graduate industrial design program or a practicing professional applying to return to graduate school. Scholarship applications are due June 1, 2008; application guidelines and forms can be found at http://www.idsa.org/absolutenm/ templates/?a=3260&z=131.
For more information on either scholarship, please contact Larry Hoffer at 703.707.6000 x119 or larryh@idsa.org.
