GUIDELINES
Scholarship award funds derive from monies donated to the Design-Ed Coalition, our event organizer, with the specific purpose of supporting participants of SummerStudio Design Thinking 2020.
The purpose of the scholarship is to support applicants who have financial needs – the intent is to cover all or a portion of the registration fees.
Registrants who attend as a team are strongly encouraged. The goal is to support the implementation and scalability of design thinking for solutions that tackle real-life challenges that are relevant to you, as well as your students and community.
Also, it is strongly encouraged that applicants are members of the National Art Education Association (NAEA).
