On Monday, Aug. 19, the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF) announced the scholarship recipients for the 2024-25 academic year. Among the winners are three students in the Graphic Design program at CalArts: Kari Trail (Art BFA 25), Dariia Zamrii (Art MFA 25), and Christina Monterrosa (Art BFA 25).
The PGSF awards scholarships to support deserving students in their pursuit of post-secondary education in graphic communications. This year, scholarships were granted to 144 students attending 65 universities, colleges, and technical schools across the United States, with an average award exceeding $3,900.
Selected from a highly competitive pool of more than 1,000 applicants, Trail, Zamrii, and Monterrosa will collectively receive $14,000 in scholarship funds from PGSF.
“I strive to provide support and assistance to aid young adults as they navigate their post-secondary education and transition into the workforce,” said Debbie Bohan, administrator of PGSF, in the official press release. “A highlight of my year is notifying our scholarship recipients of their renewable awards. I receive numerous heartwarming emails and letters of gratitude describing the impact their PGSF scholarship has on themselves, their families, and their futures. Without a doubt, the work we do changes and enriches lives and it is an honor to play my small part in this.”
In addition to scholarships, PGSF provides funding through an annual Educational Grant Program and Design Contests for high school and college students. For more information, visit www.pgsf.org.
