Welcome to the DISC Scholarship Pages

The 2008 Scholarship Search is now closed. Materials remain open for review but applications for 2008 will not be accepted.  Applicants who are not awarded a scholarship will be notified via email before May 15, 2008.   Awardees will be contacted in advance and will be invited to accept their award at the 2008 Global Finals celebration.  

DISC, the official support committee of Destination ImagiNation®  will oversee a scholarship program once again.  Thanks to the outstanding generosity and support of the Destination ImagiNation community, we will make $10,000.00 available for scholarship awards for the 2008 DI season.  The 2007 Award Recipients were announced in May at Global Finals.  A complete list of awardees can be found by clicking here. 

As long as you are active in Destination Imagination, and continuing your education at the post secondary levels, you can apply. There is no age limitation. You must have participated in at least one of the creative problem solving programs that Destination ImagiNation has sponsored.  Hopefully when you have read our applications, online or in document form, you will see the importance we assign to that participation. You should also note that GPA, grades or class rank are not required...we do not score those.

For the DISC Scholarship search, it is the applicant's CREATIVITY and involvement that are deemed most important. We want to see you use your creativity and divergent thinking! This is not your average scholarship search because the Destination ImagiNation community does not have a traditional or "average" applicant pool ! The most weight in our scoring is applied to the creativity of the solution to our challenges, and the past and continued involvement of the applicant.

This year  three Challenge tracks are offered to our Destination ImagiNation Scholars throughout the World: Essay, Internet and Presentation.
