Pittsburgh, PA – August 6, 2025  — The Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF), a nonprofit organization working to build the future workforce of the graphic communications industry through educational scholarships, is pleased to announce scholarships for the 2025/26 academic school year have been granted.

PGSF 2025-2026 scholarships were awarded to 144 students attending 68 universities, colleges, and technical schools across the United States. This year $535,000 was awarded with an average scholarship of over $3,750. Eighty-one students’ scholarships were renewed as they stayed in their program and maintained a GPA of 3.0 or better.

“Working with PGSF students is a pleasure and a privilege,” said Debbie Bohan, PGSF Administrative Director. “I strive to provide support and assistance to aid young adults as they navigate their post-secondary education and transition into the workforce. 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. It is an honor to play my small part in this.”

PGSF received over 1,000 applications for scholarships between November 2024 and May 2025. “We were certainly happy to provide the scholarships that we did, but it would be so much better if we would be able to fund even more,” said Jeffrey White, Director of Development for PGSF. 

In addition to scholarships, PGSF provides funding through an annual Educational Grant Program and Design Contests for high school and college students. For information on scholarships, contests, grants, and ways to donate, visit www.pgsf.org.
