Each year the DSVC Foundation give scholarships and awards through the DSVC Foundation Scholarships competition and the National Student Show and conference. The National Student Show and Conference, now entering it's 16th year is a 3 day conference and student visual communications competition. The event awards $20,000 in scholarships and awards. The 3 day conference brings 4 national keynote speakers, 12+ breakout sessions, job fair, portfolio review and an educator's forum.
The DSVC Foundation Scholarships gives up to $5,000 in scholarships to High School Seniors from North Texas looking to study visual arts in college.
Our biggest needs are to help increasing award giving for the National Student Show & Conference. https://nationalstudentshow.com/
Visual Communication, in general, is misunderstood and many people within the visual arts "stumbled" into it after forming an interest in fine arts. It can be a difficult discussion when talented students float the idea of studying visual arts in college. Parents may discourage talented students from continuing in this direction because they are unfamiliar with the many career possibilities. Through scholarships, awards and educational events the DSVC Foundation seeks to help assist high school seniors and undergraduate college students who wish to pursue a career in the visual arts by providing aid to help with the financial college burden.

The Dallas Society of Visual Communications is committed to fostering a creative community where individuals of all backgrounds, identities, experiences, and perspectives are welcomed, respected, and empowered to participate fully.
We believe that the visual communications industry is strengthened by diverse voices and that creativity flourishes when barriers to participation are removed. We strive to create an environment in which designers, writers, photographers, illustrators, educators, students, and creative professionals can connect, learn, and grow regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, socioeconomic status, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
