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. Sustainable design is the development of innovative ways to create living spaces that are energy efficient and feature green/sustainable materials, fabrications and products. The student applying for this scholarship is 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 is 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. 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. Three additional individual images, without supporting documentation, computer generated and/or hand drawings and/or renderings may also be submitted. 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.
