In addition to this scholarship, Sumila will also be asked to design the announcement for the 2009 AIGA SF Enrichment Scholarship.
“I am thrilled for Sumila. She is a wonderfully talented designer and this scholarship is a testament to her abilities," said Mary Scott, Chair, School of Graphic Design, Academy of Art University.
