AIGA Worldstudio DxD Scholarship Program
Offered by Diversify by Design and AIGA Worldstudio
About this scholarship
The AIGA Worldstudio DxD Scholarship Program is a long-running design scholarship now housed with Diversify by Design. The official scholarship page says the program was established in 1995 to address the lack of diversity in the creative professions and to support socially conscious design leaders. It notes more than 850 students supported and over $1.4 million invested in creative futures. The 2026 application cycle is closed, and the program page says matriculated college or university students, or high school students entering a program in 2027, will be eligible for 2027-2028 scholarships when the program reopens next year. Amount_value is null because the current official program page does not publish fixed individual award amounts for the next cycle. Qualifying 2026 categories included communication design, illustration, and photography, including graphic and visual design, interaction design, game design, motion graphics, animation, computer animation, and photography. The award is variable partial funding because it supports creative education but does not guarantee full tuition or living costs.
