IFDA-EF SCHOLARSHIPS REQUIRE A MAJOR IN INTERIOR DESIGN OR A RELATED DESIGN/FURNISHINGS PROGRAM, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. Applicants need not be US citizens, but must attend School in the US.

Scholarship funds are paid directly to the recipient's school earmarked for tuition and not paid directly to the student (see individual scholarship criteria for exceptions).

Please read all of a particular scholarship's descriptions and criteria and eligibility before applying.
