The TDC Superscript Scholarship sponsored by Monotype recognizes students of color studying in the type design discipline at a college or university in the United States. The new scholarship will be awarded to one person of color, currently in their junior year of college or first year of graduate school, who demonstrates exceptional talent and skill in the use of typography (excellence and promise in type design) across current media – print, digital, and beyond.

The TDC’s first female member, Beatrice Warde, was a journalist, scholar, and passionate advocate of education. Named in her honor and sponsored by Monotype, the scholarship recognizes one female-identifying college junior, whose work demonstrates exceptional talent, sophistication, and skill in the use of typography across current media, not just print.

Every year, we honor up to seven students with the TDC Scholarship, a $1,000 award recognizing their achievements in and appreciation for typography in design. Winners are selected by the TDC Scholarship Committee, which receives nominations from design schools in the US and abroad.
