The Adobe Foundation today announced it is committing one million dollars to establish the Adobe Foundation Creativity Scholarships, a new global initiative. Offered to high-school seniors who participate in the Adobe Youth Voices program, the scholarship will help them continue their education, pursue creative careers and find ways to improve their communities.
Students from the Adobe Youth Voices (AYV) network, which includes more than 800 sites in 52 countries, will be eligible to apply for the scholarships. AYV is Adobe’s global philanthropy initiative focused on teaching youth from underserved communities creative self-expression and global citizenship. The first scholarship application cycle is expected to begin in spring 2013, with awards distributed for the start of the academic year beginning in fall 2013.
