“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”   - Martin Luther King, Jr. 
​

Design For Good (DFG) scholars definitely walk in the light of creative altruism. Armed with an ardent purpose to touch lives and confront existing parameters, they scale new heights by anticipating opportunity in every challenge. 

 

Bearing that as the leading objective, DFG aims to nurture spirited youths to be committed in creating sustainable social good. The only requirement DFG sets for its awardees is for them to contribute their knowledge, skills and talents back to the community during the course of study. 

 

In collaboration with the acclaimed M.A.D. School by Chatsworth Medi@rt Academy, DFG scholarship is awarded to budding creatives so that they can harness the essence of Marketing, Advertising and Design. DFG scholars, positioned to be “thinker first, creative second”, would then be adept in using their learnt craft to design for good.

Design for Good (DFG) Scholarship

 

The Design For Good (DFG) Scholarship supports its scholar’s study for a full-time Professional Diploma in Advertising and Design. Other than subsidising half of the academic course fees in M.A.D. School, the scholarship also grants its recipient  direct entry into M.A.D. School’s mentorship programme, exclusive talks, outreach events and Industry Orientation Programmes (IOP). In addition, the recipient also has priority for overseas immersion programmes and participate in the famed D&AD and Crowbar Awards competition.

 

As aforementioned, the DFG Scholarship programme attunes scholars to design for good. For heightened exposure into the landscape of socio-creative services today, full-time students will be giving back to the community through an internship programme under Make The Change (MTC) or their affiliated partners during the course of study.
