Houzz recently announced that it is expanding its Scholarship Program. Having offered seven scholarships to date, the home improvement marketplace will now offer four $2,500 scholarships, twice yearly, in the following categories: Women in Architecture; Residential Interior Design; Sustainable Design; and Construction Management.
“These design and architecture students have offered incredible perspectives on the future of how we will live in our built environments. We’re so pleased to help these students pursue their goals and dreams. The caliber of applicants and their essays for the Houzz Scholarship program is extremely impressive,” says Liza Hausman, VP of industry marketing at Houzz.
Houzz says scholarship program “supports the next generation of residential design and architecture pros,” targeting students studying architecture, interior design and landscape architecture.
