The Foundation for Graphic Communication Education (PGSF) is honored to have impacted the lives of thousands of students over the years with scholarship funds. In this blog series, we highlight feedback from our current and past recipients, showcasing the impact of our financial and organizational support on their lives.
“The print industry is here to stay, with endless possibilities that continue to evolve. Each department is like a well of knowledge, working together as a team to bring creative visions to life. From unique formats and finishes to a wide range of substrates, the opportunities for what can be printed are truly limitless. It’s an amazing feeling to see incredible pieces come together — whether it’s a small custom run or a large-scale campaign, print makes a powerful and lasting impact.”
Jenny Appledorn, Ferris State University
“The most impactful piece of knowledge I have gained over the past 18 months of working as a graphic designer is that you will never stop learning new things in the industry. Having the mindset that there is always something to improve on helped me constantly keep on top of new trends, changing technology, and taking critique on my work. The learning doesn’t stop after you graduate, so be prepared to continue the learning process.”
Miriam Wagner, KSU
“I so appreciate the support of the Print and Graphics Foundation through my scholarship! It has been a tremendous help to me financially as a working college student living independently several hours away from home. I am so grateful for this opportunity!”
Grace Preston, Pennsylvania Western University
