A new scholarship will help graphic design for marketing students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) get a head start.
Brett and Jacci Sandler created a scholarship for students at the Wilson School of Design at KPU through their charitable foundation because of the great experience their daughter has had at the school so far.
“Our daughter Juliette had a valuable educational experience in her first year at the Wilson School of Design, and our family would like to pay it forward by helping qualifying graphic design for marketing students, who have experienced life challenges, to fulfill their potential too with our scholarship,” says Brett.
The Sandler Foundation has donated $10,000 for five $1,000 scholarships in 2023 and five $1,000 scholarships in 2024.
“We are so grateful to Brett and Jacci Sandler for this generous donation. This will help give graphic design for marketing students in need of financial assistance a head start as they plan their future careers,” says Andhra Goundrey, dean of the Wilson School of Design.
The Sandlers like what KPU has to offer, including the cutting-edge program, the diversity, and the business element. This was important to them as they have a business background.
“We were really impressed with KPU and their approach with students. The way they looked at students, the way they talked to students, the way they understood different situations, and the innovation in what they’re doing right now in design,” says Jacci.
The Sandler Family Scholarship is available to students in need of financial assistance entering the graphic design program at the Wilson School of Design at KPU.
“This award helps recognize diversity and accessibility—that all students should have the opportunity to succeed and to overcome barriers. Accessibility is such an important idea in design and it's wonderful to be able to reflect that value back to the program with this scholarship,” says Carley Hodgkinson, program chair of the graphic design for marketing program.
