About this award

You can receive approximately $500 from this award. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Graphic Design student who has faced challenges while pursuing your artistic and design talents. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the awards portal. Holland College lists this award's criteria on its official page (see Who qualifies). Ask Holland College how winners are picked among the students who meet them and how many usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Holland College during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Holland College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a student in Graphic Design and you must demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid providing a vague statement about needing money. Instead, give a clear picture of your current financial situation and how this $500 would help you stay in school. List your specific monthly gaps if possible.
StrategyAvoid treating the general application as a formality. Instead, ensure every section of your Holland College General Application is fully completed, as you are automatically considered based on that data.
RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed because it is a memorial fund. Instead, remember that funds are limited and competition depends on the number of Graphic Design students applying this year.
