Description

The Ruth Clark Furniture Design Scholarship was established by the Carolinas Chapter to honor Ruth Clark, one of the chapter's founding members. The scholarship is open to currently enrolled post-secondary students whose emphasis is on residential furniture design. All applicants must have completed four design courses in post-secondary education at the time of application and be majoring in Interior Design or a related field. The scholarship is open to currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate post-secondary students majoring in design with a focus on residential upholstered and/or wood furniture design. Applicants must submit one design project example, which must include process details, descriptions and both in-process and final drawings (to include plan, elevation and/or 3-D drawings and renderings). Computer generated and/or hand work may be included. Group projects will not be accepted. Four additional individual images, with descriptions, detailed computer generated final design images and/or final design hand drawings and/or final design renderings and/or final built examples must also be submitted. Final built furniture images are encouraged for all examples, and applicants are asked that they provide color images. Applicants must also submit a letter of recommendation from an instructor or professor. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the IFDA Educational Foundation for more information.
