College of Design Spring 2008 Scholarship Campaign
The College of Design presents more than 70 named scholarships and awards per year sponsored by individual donors, firms, and corporations.
In addition, the College has several scholarship funds which represent collective gifts from multiple donors.
These funds are generally supported by gifts contributed during the College of Design Spring Phonathon.
Exact dates for this year's annual scholarship campaign will be announced in early 2008.
Support for our students is support for the future of the design profession. We ask you to answer the call to invest in the next generation of architects, designers, and practicing professionals by making a scholarship gift to one or more of these funds in the University of Kentucky College of Design:
