Congratulations to Maxwell Berger who has earned an Adobe Design Circle Scholarship and was awarded $13,000 per academic year for College tuition and fees. The total for this four year scholarship is $54,000. This is an extremely competitive scholarship and only 10 seniors received this Adobe Design Circle Scholarship. In addition to receiving a 4-year scholarship, Maxwell will receive a variety of mentorship opportunities, such as shadowing, internships, workshops, networking, and a free yearly subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud.

The scholarship is an initiative of the Design Circle, a collective of 27 incredible voices from the design industry who are collaborating to drive positive change in our design practice as well as business, society, and culture. These design leaders, along with Adobe, have carefully and thoughtfully reviewed hundreds of applications from 49 countries.

Maxwell will be studying Interactive Design at Lesley University to respond to and solve the social injustices that his and other communities are facing. Already understanding the inequities and challenges of Black designers, he hopes to use it as fuel to develop himself and defy the odds.
