      The Malee Scholarship

      “Women have long played an important role in the world of type design and continue to make great contributions to the type field. Yet a lack of cultural, ethnic, and gender diversity still exists in the industry, which if reversed could unearth new innovations and unanticipated opportunities.

      The Malee Scholarship was established and is funded by Sharp Type”
