Visual Communication, in general, is misunderstood and many people within the visual arts "stumbled" into it after forming an interest in fine arts. It can be a difficult discussion when talented students float the idea of studying visual arts in college. Parents may discourage talented students from continuing in this direction because they are unfamiliar with the many career possibilities. Through scholarships, awards and educational events the DSVC Foundation seeks to help assist high school seniors and undergraduate college students who wish to pursue a career in the visual arts by providing aid to help with the financial college burden.
The DSVC Foundation
Each year the DSVC Foundation give scholarships and awards through the DSVC Foundation Scholarships competition and the National Student Show and conference. The National Student Show and Conference, now entering it's 16th year is a 3 day conference and student visual communications competition. The event awards $20,000 in scholarships and awards. The 3 day conference brings 4 national keynote speakers, 12+ breakout sessions, job fair, portfolio review and an educator's forum.
The DSVC Foundation Scholarships gives up to $5,000 in scholarships to High School Seniors from North Texas looking to study visual arts in college.
