The GDC National Scholarship Awards are Canada’s preeminent educational awards, funded by Canada’s top design-related companies, and coordinated by the GDC. Since 1956 the GDC has been dedicated to improving graphic design standards and practice in the workplace and in schools. The GDC National Scholarship Awards were initiated in 2003 to encourage and support students in taking their design education to a level that will better prepare them for professional practice.
Talented individuals from across Canada who are full-time students enrolled in a 2-, 3- or 4-year graphic design degree or diploma program, who are returning to continue their studies, are invited to enter the GDC National Scholarship Awards Program. Applicants must be GDC student members. Member at Large status is available to students in areas where there are no GDC regional chapters. Educators or institutions may also request memberships for entire classes.
Winners receive scholarship awards which are applied directly to their tuition fees. The winning students are profiled on the GDC national website, the national newsletter, and also receive prominent coverage in Canada’s national design media. 2006 & 2007 winners were profiled in a feature in Applied Arts Magazine and shown on the GDC website.
We encourage all applicants to join a professional graphic design association in their locale, and to become national GDC members Click here to view GDC membership or Member at Large information.
The judging takes place on 27 April 2008 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan following the GDC Annual General Meeting, and successful applicants will be announced on 26 May 2008 on the GDC web-site.
