The American Greetings Scholarship for Excellence in Design was established as an endowed scholarship fund at CCAD in 2000 by American Greetings Corporation. This is a merit based scholarship that recognizes one top sophomore or junior graphic design student each year.
American Greetings Corporation is a long-time supporter of CCAD and over the years has employed many of our alumni to work in its Cleveland, Ohio headquarters.
The scholarship was funded by Mr. Paul D. Allen, M.D., Ph.D. in memory of his wife Ann Hughes Allen. Ann was an alumna of CCAD and was a strong advocate of the arts throughout her life. Ann met her husband Paul in 1968 on a train in Austria while she was on vacation from CCAD. After a whirlwind courtship, they married that October. Following the birth of their two children, Hilary and Caitlin, Ann completed her studies at CCAD in 1976 receiving her BFA. She immediately set up her studio and was an active artist for many years. She was also very involved in her community, an avid travel and boxer dog lover. She was also a devoted mother and grandmother. Ann’s life was cut short after losing her long struggle with type 1 diabetes in 2006.
The Ann Hughes Allen Endowed Scholarship is awarded to a female Fine Arts student preferably in the area of printmaking who has children. There is a memorial plaque in the printmaking studio to commemorate Ann and each scholarship recipient.

Joseph V. Canzani, Columbus College of Art & Design’s former President, spent one half century teaching, inspiring and disciplining hundreds of student artists and designers. When Mr. Canzani came to Columbus in 1949, the Columbus Art School consisted of 30 students, 2 teachers and 1 staff members, and was housed in one building, Beaton Hall. When he retired in 1995, he had created a nationally recognized accredited college with an enrollment of over 1,500, an accomplished faculty, and a campus consisting of 15 well-equipped buildings.
It was Mr. Canzani’s vision to create and advance the foundation studies curriculum that continues to set CCAD apart from other art and design schools. A prolific artist, a visionary leader, and a dynamic administrator all describe him, but most of all, he was a teacher. At the dedication of the Joseph V. Canzani Center building in 1993, Board of Trustee President Melvin L. Schottenstein said, “CCAD is CCAD because of Joseph Canzani. He has found success because his philosophy is simple: provide sound fundamentals in art and design and strive for excellence.” Mr. Canzani passed away in 2008.
This Joseph V. Canzani Scholarship recognizes one outstanding upper class student each year.
