The Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation was established in 1956 by concerned industry leaders as a nonprofit, private, industry-directed corporation and since then it has been providing financial assistance to talented young men and women who are interested in graphic communications careers.
PGSF is helping approximately 300 students annually.
The PGSF has two main missions – to attract young people to the industry and if they are pursuing post-secondary education in order to enter the field, to provide financial assistance to them.
They are achieving these goals along with its donors and sponsors, through a $5000 scholarship.
A scholarship is renewable for up to four years of college if the recipient maintains a high-grade average and continues in an approved program of study.
