NEW SCHOLARSHIP: Introducing the Society Awards Design Impact Scholarship –
A New Opportunity for NC Public School Students
Society Awards is the premier designer and manufacturer of custom awards, crafting the world’s most prestigious honors, including the Emmys, MTV Awards, YouTube Creator Awards, and The Voice. Our commitment to innovation and excellence has made Society Awards the industry leader in award design and quality. Now, we turn our focus to the future of design, investing in young artists who will shape the visual world of tomorrow.
We understand that while many students demonstrate remarkable artistic talent, they may not consider pursuing careers in design. Yet, art and design are at the core of industries that shape our surroundings—from product and industrial design to fine art and commercial visual arts.
To support these visionary students, Society Awards is offering one $5,000 scholarship and five $1,000 scholarships for the 2024/2025 academic year to NC public high school seniors who plan to further their education in the visual arts.

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education
In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education.
