Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA), Fairfax, Va., in conjunction with the Specialty Graphic Imaging Foundation (SGIF), is accepting scholarship applications for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Thanks in part to donations from endowment investors and industry leaders, 20 students will be eligible for $2,000 each.
“It’s essential that we encourage our developing workforce,” says Ford Bowers, president and chief executive officer of SGIA. “These scholarships enable students’ continued engagement and make a difference in their lives.”
For students to be eligible to apply, they must attend, or plan to attend, an SGIA Educational Institution Member college or university domestically or internationally for the fall 2019 semester; attend school full-time (i.e., registered for 12 or more credits); demonstrate commitment to pursuing a career in graphic communications, printing technology or printing management; and maintain a 3.0 or higher cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
