Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) recently gifted Ringling College of Art and Design with a scholarship donation. The donation of $25,000 will provide funding for two Ringling students from underrepresented communities and is also the first donation of its kind for CGC.

CGC is the world's leading third-party grading service for comics, trading cards, magazines, and related collectibles. For more than 30 years, the CGC companies have focused on the expert and impartial authentication, grading, and conservation of collectibles and today operate on a global scale.

Mark Salzberg, Chairman of CGC stated, "starting the CGC Scholarship Fund at a world-class institution like Ringling, which is right here in our backyard, is a way for us to give back and make a difference in the lives of young creators."
