Deadline to Enter May 13th!

 

If you dream of being a trailblazer in the field of visual communication, the DSVC Foundation offers scholarships to help you navigate your first-year college expenses. So, pack up your best ideas and get going before the sun sets on this opportunity. Just follow your creative compass, and we’ll help clear the path.

 

Purpose
Visual Communication, in general, is misunderstood and many people within the visual arts “stumbled” into it after forming an interest in fine arts. Parents may discourage talented students from continuing in this direction because they are unfamiliar with the many career possibilities. Through scholarships, the DSVC Foundation seeks to help assist these high school seniors who wish to pursue a career in the visual communication by providing aid to help ease the first year financial college burden.

 

Scholarships
This year there are 3 primary scholarships awarded. Judges will determine the scholarship amounts based on the quality of work and need. Scholarships typically range between $4,000-$5,000 total. 

 

D.C. Stipp Memorial Scholarship
The Chris Rovillo Memorial Scholarship
Paul Jerde Inspiration Scholarship

 

These scholarships are funded through donations at the Dream Drive Golf Tournament held each Spring in partnership with the DSVC and the Dream Fund.
