Poster Studio Express Visual Education Scholarship
A student’s K-12 years are some of the most important in their life, establishing a foundation of knowledge that they will draw upon in all of their future endeavors.
To maximize a student’s learning potential, it’s critical for teachers to understand the unique learning styles that come with youth. Visual learning is a critical way to capture a child’s attention and impart important concepts. Teachers who maximize the use of their classrooms to improve learning, communication, and student success can make all the difference in the experiences of young students.
This scholarship aims to support students who are pursuing careers in youth education and who will go above and beyond to help their students learn.
Any high school senior or undergraduate student who is pursuing a career in K-12 education may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, design an educational poster that teaches a specific, recognized K-12 curriculum standard (e.g., Common Core Math, Next Generation Science Standards, or a specific state-level historical standard) and upload it below.
Additionally, write a 500-word essay telling us the strategy behind your design. Your essay must address which curriculum standard you chose, how the visual elements help students comprehend and retain the concept, and why visual learning is important in K-12 classrooms.
