An endowed scholarship for entering ACCD Illustration or Graphic Design students based primarily on need. Art Center's Financial Aid Department and Faculty work together to choose scholarship recipients. Awards will be given to the student, if they stay in good standing, throughout the entirety of their Art Center education; therefore, they will receive some funding every term until they graduate. The first award will go to a student in January, 2005. Mike is donating his proceeds from his DC Remix Series shoe to start this scholarship. DC Shoes has graciously agreed to match the donation dollar for dollar, doubling the money that will make up the principal amount. Over time, Mike plans to continue to donate to the scholarship on his own, to make larger amounts and more scholarships available.
