Wacom’s Media Arts Technology Funding Guide

Grant and funding programs can help support classroom technology that builds stronger student-teacher connections, inspires creativity, and improves student outcomes.

A resource that we created especially with K-12 and CTE educators in mind is our Education Technology Funding Guide. In the funding guide, you can discover which programs are available to help your school invest in the learning tools – such as Wacom devices – that help students achieve their full potential.

In this Open Studio Conversation Jeffrey Conger, professor of graphic design at Montana State University, explored skills and portfolio strategies that can help students pursue higher education opportunities in graphic design and media arts, career options for students considering these pathways, and the value of exploring higher education opportunities in unexpected locations.

He also talked about the value of welcoming nontraditional and neurodiverse students into art and digital media programs in both secondary and higher education.
