The Graphic Communications Scholarship Fund of New England (GCSFNE) is one of the largest scholarship programs of its type in the country. The goal of GCSFNE, created in 1957, is to provide financial support to students in post secondary schools that are interested in a career in the graphic communications industry. Each year the fund awards nearly $70,000 in scholarships to New England students. Awards of two and four years are granted up to a maximum of $2,500 annually. Students must be residents of New England. Applicants may be high school seniors, recent high school graduates, or current students enrolled in an accredited college or university that offers a certificate or degree related to graphic communications. If the major selected is not graphic communications-related, the student must explain how the major will prepare them for a career in the graphic communications industry. Items we will need in addition to your application are:
- High School transcript or current College transcript (if applicable)
- Application
- College Acceptance Letter
- List of Expected Financial Resources (ie other scholarships awarded, etc.)

When I was a high school senior in Worcester, MA, my graphic arts class was lucky enough to tour LaVigne Press. After the tour, I was handed a tri-fold brochure for the Graphic Communications Scholarship Fund which changed the direction of my life. More

The Graphic Communications Scholarship Fund New England has enabled me to pursue my Bachelor’s degree at CCSU. During my college career I’ve benefited from both the financial assistance from the fund as well an internship at a local leading commercial printer. More
