The Adé Hogue Scholarship, sponsored by Monotype, is in commemoration of gifted young Chicago-based art director, designer, letterer and avid cyclist Adé Hogue, in cooperation with the Broderick Adé Hogue Foundation, says the organisation.

TDC will award the USD$5 000 scholarship to a BIPOC student globally entering into their junior year of college or first year of graduate or postgraduate school who demonstrates exceptional talent and promise in the design or use of letterforms. Deadline for entry is Friday, April 16, adds the organisation.

The Beatrice Warde Scholarship, also sponsored by Monotype, is named after the journalist, typographical scholar and communicator on typography who was the first female member of the TDC. She believed in the merits of education and championed them throughout her professional career with Monotype, says the organisation.

The USD$5 000 scholarship aims to recognise a woman or non-binary college student globally entering into their junior year of undergraduate study whose work demonstrates exceptional talent, sophistication and aptitude for typography, lettering and type design. Deadline for entry is Friday, April 16, adds the organisation.

The TDC Scholarship Program is open to college undergraduate students worldwide entering their senior year (September 2026 to May 2027) who demonstrate exceptional talent, sophistication and skill in typography. Five USD$1 000 and four USD$500 scholarships are available, the deadline for entry is Friday, April 16, says the organisation.

In addition to the financial awards, the winners of each scholarship receive a one-year TDC student membership, which includes a copy of the most recent The World's Best Typography® annual and complimentary admission for all TDC events, adds the organisation.

"We are incredibly fortunate with the support of Monotype to reward our future practitioners for their talents and creative endeavors," says David Jon Walker, Principal of Rhealistic, New Haven; Associate Professor of Art in Graphic Design, Yale University and TDC Advisory Board member.

"The importance of each specific scholarship seeks to ensure that the growth of our industry is sustainable and diverse. Our recognition of these students showcases the rich legacy and heritage of TDC promoting the importance of typographic education and letterform design. We thank the design educators all over the globe for building incredible students and promoting our scholarship opportunities. Without them our access to the designers of the future would be limited," concludes Walker.

All scholarship winners will be announced in May 2026.
