Goodby Silverstein & Partners will pay tuition for two African-American students to attend 40-to-45-week creative programs at top digital school Hyper Island, the agency’s creative brass announced Wednesday evening.

Jeff Goodby, co-chairman at the agency, unveiled the scholarship during a One Show panel focused on the lack of diversity in the advertising industry, subtly titled “Where are all the black people?”

High school and college students can apply until June 6 for the scholarship, which can be used to attend either the interactive art director or motion graphics program.
