The GIAN Scholarship Fund

A seat at the table

Someone opened the door for us once. This is how we hold it open. The GIAN Scholarship Fund supports the next generation of creative leaders: students who want to shape experiences, build community and bring people together through events, design, hospitality and storytelling. It honors the values we live by at GIAN: hospitality, innovation, collaboration and thoughtful leadership.

Each year, one graduating high school senior from anywhere in the U.S. receives a $2,000 award, whether they're headed to college, a trade program, a creative certification or a business of their own.
