Signs Now, a division of Allegra Network LLC, will once again partner with Electronic Document Scholarship Foundation (EDSF) to administer five new scholarships totaling $10,000 for the 2013 academic year. The scholarships will support students who are preparing for careers in graphic communications.

Bernard Haun, vice president of marketing and communications, Signs Now, said, “We are proud to recognize some of the leaders in our franchise network for their efforts in the industry and also for their dedication to their communities. These scholarships in their honor are a reflection of their hard work.”

These scholarships are part of the EDSF Legacy Scholarship program, which is designed to enable small businesses to become involved with scholarships benefiting students and colleges in their particular geographic area.

Scholarships are awarded based on scholastic achievement, honors received and participation in school activities, along with community service and organizational affiliations. Eligibility requirements include a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale and full-time student status.
