Scholarship
The Wilsonart Student Education Fund created this scholarship to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on the value of their IIDA Mentorship program experience and further advance their education in interior design. This program will award one recipient with a $1,000 scholarship courtesy of the Wilsonart Student Education Fund. The recipient will also receive official digital assets and recognition on IIDA.org and IIDA social media channels. Wilsonart will also provide the winner with roundtrip airfare and a two-night hotel stay in Chicago during NeoCon.
Application Requirements
Students must complete an essay reflecting on the value of your mentorship experience. We recommend including the following:
-
Your motivation for pursuing the field of interior design
- How your mentorship experience has influenced your education and career goals
- Share what next steps you plan to take in your own professional development
