Applications Are OPEN NOW


PGSF’s goal is to attract individuals to the graphic communications industry and inform them of the wide variety of career opportunities available. The organization awards scholarships to high school seniors, students already enrolled in postsecondary programs, and current graphic communications employees seeking further education. PGSF is currently accepting scholarship and


fellowship applications for the 2023–2024 academic year from full-time and part-time college students and postgraduate fellows. The online application can be found at PGSF.org, and applications must be submitted by May 1 at 11:59 p.m. The PGSF Scholarship Selection Committee is


composed of college educators and industry leaders experienced in interpreting test scores, school records, and other pertinent information. Scholarship candidates are judged on the basis of their academic records; recommendations from instructors, advisors, and employers; biographical records, which indicate academic honors; extracurricular interests, and so on. Scholarships can range from $1,500 to $10,000


per academic year for up to four years and can be used for tuition and other fees. You can email contact@pgsf.org or call 866-556-PGSF with questions.
