Scholarship Availability
Each year, IPA sponsors several scholarships through the IPA/Robert S. Swan Scholarship Fund, which is administered by the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF). It’s that time of year when high school seniors are looking at opportunities for scholarships; it also is an excellent time to remind employees of the availability of graphic arts scholarships. Applications for high school students are due March 1. For college students the deadline is April 1. Students already enrolled in college as well as high school seniors are eligible.
