Dscoop has partnered with the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation (PGSF) to launch the Dscoop Grant Program, providing students and emerging professionals across Australia and New Zealand with new pathways into the global digital print industry.

The initiative is designed to support motivated individuals who are serious about building a career in print, packaging and graphic communications, by helping remove financial barriers to international industry exposure.

The program is administered by PGSF and funded by Dscoop, HP and additional donors.

The current intake is focused on supporting attendance at Dscoop Edge Rockies in Denver (8–11 March), one of the industry’s leading global events for digital print, packaging and innovation.

Successful applicants may receive up to US$2500 per student, which can be used toward:

  • Dscoop event registration
  • Travel (air or ground transport)
  • Accommodation
  • Support costs related to US-based internship opportunities

Students (junior level or above) studying print, graphic communications, design or related disciplines outside of the US, including Australia and New Zealand, are urged to apply.

Applicants must demonstrate strong written and spoken English communication skills.

The program is expected to continue throughout 2026, subject to available funding.

Visa, passport and related costs are not covered, and Dscoop does not provide internship placements.

Applications, which can be completed here, close 1 February and successful applicants will notified by 10 February 10.

PGSF manages the application and selection process to ensure fairness and consistency, while Dscoop’s role is to fund the program and help connect successful applicants with meaningful industry exposure and professional networks.

The program presents a valuable opportunity for universities, TAFEs, lecturers and industry educators across Australia and New Zealand to connect talented students with global career pathways in digital print.
