Hi there! I'm a junior really passionate about interior design and considering pursuing it in college. Are there scholarships that specifically target future interior design students? I'd love any advice on where to find these or if there are any specific ones you, or someone you know, have applied to. Interior design is my dream, and getting some financial help would be amazing!
Sure thing! There are several scholarships that cater specifically to students who wish to study interior design in college. Here are a handful:

- The Angelo Donghia Foundation Scholarship in Interior Design: This is open to junior students in accredited school programs across the U.S.
- The Dorothy Montgomery Professional Member Scholarship: This is another scholarship by the IFDA, but specifically for seniors or graduate students in the field of interior design.
- Educational Foundation of the International Furnishing and Design Association (IFDA) hosts several scholarships for undergraduate and graduate students in interior design and related disciplines.
Also, some universities that have reputable interior design programs might offer scholarships to attract skilled students, so be sure to check out the scholarships or financial aid pages of the universities you're applying to.
