How to Make Your Gift
Eduardo Rocha ’19 (Industrial Design) had a troubled childhood, but loved to draw. His high school art teacher, a MIAD graduate, encourged his talent, which led him to receive a Pre-College Program scholarship and later a scholarship to attend MIAD.
“Not a day goes by that I do not stop and think about how my scholarship to MIAD has made my passion and my career possible.”
– MacKenzie Pankey ’18 (Interior Architecture + Design)
