No matter what your degree track, trying to figure out how you’re going to finance your college career is never a pleasant experience.
Stacking loans on top of loans will get the job done — but you’ll end up paying them off for years to come.
A little financial aid can go a long way if you play your cards right, but no matter how you stretch your budget, there’s almost never enough to cover an entire four years of school.
But what’s a poor (we’ve all been there!) college student to do? Apply for scholarships like it’s your job. (I mean, in terms of trading time for money, it’s sort of the same thing.)
So let us help you get started on your road to being financially worry free: Here’s a scholarship open to students pursuing a career in graphic communications, printing technology or printing management.
The scholarship is being awarded by SGIA, or the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association, and can be used during the fall 2018 and spring 2019 semesters to pay for tuition, books or room and board.
