Name: Against the Grain Artistic Scholarship for Asian American Designers
Award Amount: $1,000
Information and Eligibility:
The Against the Grain Artistic Scholarship for Asian American Designers supports talented Asian American students pursuing careers in the creative and design fields. Offered by Against the Grain Productions, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Asian American identity, leadership, and cultural awareness, this scholarship seeks to help the next generation of designers become influential changemakers in their communities and artistic industries. The scholarship provides financial support for students in fields such as graphic design, fashion design, industrial design, interior design, product design, visual communication, and related disciplines.
This scholarship is awarded to students who demonstrate an outstanding combination of artistic vision, originality, leadership capability, and community engagement. Against the Grain focuses on uplifting Asian American voices, and applicants are encouraged to showcase how their cultural identity influences their creativity or design concepts. The goal of the scholarship is not only to support students financially but also to assist in professional development, cultivation of cultural pride, and artistic growth. Recipients may also receive recognition from the organization and be highlighted in publications or featured events, providing valuable networking visibility.
Applicants are evaluated on both creative excellence and personal character. The scholarship committee looks for students who are pushing boundaries within the arts, using design as a tool for storytelling, social advocacy, cultural representation, or industry innovation. Students at both two-year and four-year institutions are encouraged to apply, as well as those enrolled in accredited design programs or creative arts institutions.
