“I’d like to take a moment to thank both of you for the support of your respective organizations, PIAG and PGSF. I am greatly appreciative of the financial support that has been generously given to me. I would not be able to pursue my graphic design career without your help, and for that, I cannot thank you enough.
The impact that this scholarship has had on my life is incredible and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. Thank you so much for your time, communication, and financial support!”

“This scholarship will help me to achieve my goals to complete my degree and teach graphic arts someday. I have developed a love for the industry through the passion of my professors and I hope to inspire the next generation of print professionals in the same way.

Pursuing a degree in graphic communications at Clemson University has deepened my passion for the print industry and has given me so many opportunities to explore my interests further. I look forward to keeping in touch with you through my journey. Thank you again for your investment in my education.”
