Each year PGSF awards 200+ college level scholarships ranging in value from $2,000 to $5,000 and we turn to our student community to help us promote these scholarship programs. We are asking students to design a poster promoting our scholarship programs. The winning posters will be displayed in schools across the United States in the upcoming school year. The winning entrant will receive a $500 check, an award certificate, and will be honored in a national news release, on the PGSF website, and on social media platforms.
We will need unique poster designs for each of the following scholarship programs:
- Full-time Student Scholarship
- Part-time Student Scholarship
Educators: Please encourage students in your school to enter the PGSF Poster Competition either as individuals or as part of class assignment or project.
