The Foundation for Graphic Communication Education, formerly known as PGSF, opened its scholarship applications for the 2027-2028 academic year on November 1, 2026. The application period closes May 1, 2027, and is open to full-time and part-time students pursuing secondary education in graphic communications.

Why it matters

Students and workers in graphic communications who need help paying for school now have a defined window to apply for foundation funding for the 2027-2028 year. The annual program's continued availability to part-time students, offered for the eighth consecutive year, matters for adult learners balancing school with jobs.

Full-time applicants must have a 3.0 GPA or better and 12 or more credits per term and submit applications by May 1, 2027. Part-time applicants must have employer confirmation by May 1, 2027, and the program is open to high school seniors, post-secondary students, and graphic communications company employees.

A scholarship provider formerly known as PGSF that funds students pursuing graphic communications education, including high school seniors, post-secondary students, and industry employees.

Education Landscape

The foundation's eighth consecutive year of part-time scholarships reflects a sustained commitment to students who study while working. Targeted industry scholarships like this one sit alongside broader aid programs as one route for students seeking discipline-specific funding.

Full-time students in graphic communications must have a 3.0 GPA and 12 or more credits per term and submit applications by May 1, 2027. Part-time students and employees need employer confirmation by that same date, so it is worth checking eligibility with the school's financial-aid office early.

The takeaway

Graphic communications students and workers have a deadline of May 1, 2027, to apply for the 2027-2028 scholarships. Gathering two recommendations and official transcripts early can help full-time applicants meet the requirements.

What happens next

Scholarship recipients will be notified in July and August of 2027.
