By becoming a contributor, supporter, or sponsor of the ADAI
Scholarship Fund you will help continue this strong tradition. All
donations are tax deductible. Your name will be published in the ADAI
newsletter in recognition of your support.
Since 1978, the Art Directors Association of Iowa has awarded
scholarships to deserving students enrolled in colleges and
universities recognized as having excellent graphic design programs.
With the presentation of the 2007 scholarships, $95,650 in
scholarship money has been given to 168 Iowa students.
Selection of any individual student to be honored shall be made upon
recommendation of knowledgeable faculty within the Iowa college or
university concerned. Written recommendations are required to be
submitted by the faculty. Only properly selected students, whose
favorable scholastic performance warrants recognition, will be
rewarded by ADAI. Recipients of scholarships are not to be favored by
virtue of age, sex, color, or creed. The final decision for the
granting of any scholarship rests with the Scholarship Committee.
The participating schools are: Des Moines Area Community College,
Drake University, Grand View College, Hawkeye Community College, Iowa
State University, Simpson College, the University of Northern Iowa,
and Graceland College. Due to the support of our past advertisers and
donations from members, the committee has been able to purchase
Certificates of Deposits and securities. We award scholarships by
using only the interest that has accrued annually. All the donations
to the scholarship fund have been securely invested and the annual
scholarship amounts are based on the interest only. The appointed
scholarship Fund Committee members are charged with the
responsibility of administering the Fund so that it continues to grow
and will perpetuate into the future.
ADAI strives to maintain and further the professional endeavors of
those in graphic design and related fields, to assist others
interested in the profession, and encourage high standards of
competence. Professional and student members are invited to attend
monthly meetings. ADAI holds an annual design exhibition in the
spring to recognize outstanding work by professionals. In past years,
there was a student category in that competition. Since 2004, ADAI
has been holding all-student design competitions in February.
