ADAI Scholarship Fund
(Also known as the Harry K. Watts ADAI Scholarship Fund in recognition of Harry’s generous and unmatched support of ADAI and the ADAI Scholarship Fund.)

It was Charles Townsend’s idea for supporting graphic design students. 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.

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.

A fund has been established from the support of our past newsletter advertisers and donations from members. All the donations to the scholarship fund have been securely invested and the annual scholarship amounts are based on the interest only.

ADAI strives to maintain and further the professional endeavors of those in graphic design and related fields, to assist students and others interested in the profession, and encourage high standards of competence.
