Imagine you had everything you needed to share your vision with the world: talent, skill, dedication, desire.

Everything, that is, except money.

Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships allow young people from minority and economically disadvantaged backgrounds not only to realize their artistic dreams, but also to give back to their communities.

Each year, the Worldstudio AIGA Scholarship program receives hundreds of applications from young people in this very predicament: desperate to influence the world with their amazing talents but without the financial means to do so. Fortunately, with the support of generous individuals, organizations and corporations, Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships allow young people from minority and economically disadvantaged backgrounds not only to realize their artistic dreams, but also to give back to their communities.

With continued support, we can provide many exciting beginnings for talented and deserving students of art, architecture and design.

Criteria and Guidelines
Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships benefit minority and economically disadvantaged students who are studying art and design disciplines in colleges and universities in the United States. Among our primary aims are:

• To increase diversity in the creative professions
• To foster social and environmental responsibility in the artists, designers and studios of tomorrow

To this end, scholarship recipients are selected not only for their ability and their need, but also for their demonstrated commitment to giving back to the larger community through their work.
