Design Service-Learning Scholarship
The scholarship fund is envisioned to support service-learning and international exposure components of our design program as well as professional development by attending conferences.
If funding permits each year, at least $250.00 would be awarded to students in support of attending professional conferences in design (AIGA MN Design Camp for third-year design students, AIGA Design Conference for fourth-year design students). Funding permitting at least $500.00 would be awarded to students participating in a faculty-led travel study program or study abroad program to complete the international exposure of the I–Design program.
With the support of the WSU Foundation, a fund has been created: 30377 Design Service-Learning Scholarship. Clients, alumni, community, and industry leaders will be directed to www.winona.edu/give, after selecting “other” in the Designation line and typing in Design Service-Learning Scholarship donations can be made.
