2022-23 scholarship application

due 11:59 p.m., Monday, August 22, 2022

We’re now accepting applications for the annual Helveticahaus Scholarship.

There’s nothing between you and a $1,000 scholarship but these five easy steps. And, well…the judgment of our selection committee. But since this form will time out after a brief period of inactivity, do yourself a favor and READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE APPLICATION FORM BEFORE BEGINNING. You’ll see why when you get to number three.
1) First, we're gonna need some contact info.
name*
first last
address*
street address line 1 street address line 2 city state zip
phone*
email*
2) Now tell us a little bit about yourself.
eligible school*
Why are you interested in a career in graphic design?*
Name one designer (graphic, architecture, industrial, etc.) that you admire and tell us why.*
What are your interests or hobbies? (If you don't have any, you should probably cultivate a couple. Then get back to us.)*
Tell us why you of all people deserve the Helveticahaus scholarship more than anyone else.*
3) Choose one of the four projects listed below and, in a few words, offer a critique.
poster: “The Diva Is Dismissed” (Paula Scher)
identity: Sizzle Pie (Aaron Draplin)
packaging: Macallan Concept no. 3 (David Carson)
advertising: Avis (Jessica Hische)
Things to consider in your response: What do you think? Did the designer succeed in meeting the criteria, and is the project itself successful? Why or why not? What, if anything, would you have done differently? In what ways do you identify with the designer? Can you see a process behind the final product? Does it inspire or intimidate you?
It took Lincoln only 272 words to write the Gettysburg Address, so if it takes you more than 200 to talk about design, you’re doing it wrong. (That said, we’re hoping for a minimum of 100.)
And be sure to add your name to the document file name before you upload so we know which is yours.
critique response*
Accepted file types: pdf, Max. file size: 2 MB.
4) We'll also need to see your work, naturally.
Don't forget to either upload a PDF of your portfolio or include a link to your website. 'Cause we like looking at pretty things too.
