The Rising Black Designers Scholarship is a scholarship program that provides financial support to Black students who are pursuing a career in design. The scholarship is designed to help offset the high costs of education and support the development of future Black design leaders. The scholarship is awarded annually to one or more students who meet the eligibility criteria and who have submitted a completed application. The scholarship amount varies each year and can range from $2,500 to $10,000. The scholarship funds can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, and other educational expenses related to the recipient’s design program.
The application process typically includes a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and a portfolio of the applicant’s design work. The scholarship committee may also conduct interviews with finalists to learn more about their goals and aspirations in the field of design.
