Empower the Next Generation of Explorers and Visionaries

At DAAP, we believe creative visionaries are a cornerstone for building a brighter tomorrow. Our students are immersed in a vibrant cross-disciplinary environment, and are pushing the boundaries of innovation through research, experimentation, and collaboration. 

Fuel the future with your donation. Gifts to the scholarship fund for the school of your choice, or the DAAP Alumni Scholarship, provide funds to attract top artists and creatives, and immerse students in real-world, experiential learning in over 20 undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs in a broad range of creative disciplines. Your gift helps students gain invaluable experience through experiences like internships, design competitions, and study abroad programs.
