The Graphic Communications Scholarship Foundation (GCSF) renewed its commitment to developing the next generation of the industry’s workforce with a ceremony that saluted the achievements of these young strivers and the generosity of the donors who support their education.
In New York City on June 24, GCSF presented scholarship awards to 13 students enrolled in or entering academic degree programs in graphic communications. It also made institutional grants to a local college and to a volunteer organization that trains community members in the craft of printing.
The cash awards came at the height of a year in which GCSF met its goal of raising $100,000 to fund education and professional development for those pursuing careers in graphic communications. The Foundation, a 501(c)( 3) not-for-profit entity, has contributed more than $1.4 million to the cause of education since awarding its first scholarships in 2002.
