The Tricia LeVangie Green/Sustainable Design Scholarship was established by the New England Chapter to honor the late Tricia LeVangie, an active and committed IFDA New England member. The scholarship is for an undergraduate student focusing on the evolving green/sustainable field of study. The student applying for this scholarship must be planning to become an educated participant in the green movement. Paying equal attention to both sustainability factors and design aesthetics, the student should be demonstrating creative use of green products and eco-friendly furnishings in class projects. The student must be familiar with current information in the green/sustainable field, is applying this knowledge in class work and has a goal of seeking a future LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation. 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. Applicants must submit one Design Project Example which must include process details, descriptions and both in-process and final drawings (with the plan, elevation and/or 3-D drawings and renderings). Computer generated and/or hand work may be included. Group projects will not be accepted. Applicants must also submit three additional individual images, without supporting documentation, computer generated and/or hand drawings and/or renderings may be included (unrelated to the aforementioned project). Applicants must submit a letter of recommendation from an instructor or professor on official school stationery. The application, essay, work and any other requirements are to be emailed as PDF files. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the IFDA Educational Foundation for more information.
