If you’ve ever wanted to pursue interior design in college, now is your chance. Cyrus Artisan Rugs—the largest rug and carpet showroom in the Midwest—is offering a scholarship grant to current and incoming interior design students for the Spring of 2020.
The Minnesota-based rug retailer will award $500 each to three hardworking students who have a passion for design. This grant will help students in need of financial support for their tuition, books, and other educational fees.
Eligible applicants for this scholarship include enrolled, or about to enroll, students of interior design and related courses. High school graduates who plan to study interior design or a similar course are also encouraged to apply.
Applicants will need to submit an original essay (minimum of 500 words, ideally in PDF format). The essay should discuss a topic related to the rug industry. Alternatively, the applicant could discuss why they should receive the Cyrus Artisan Rugs Scholarship Grant. Note that this essay must not exist in published form elsewhere.
Those who want to further their education in interior design can learn more about the grant and its requirements by checking the Cyrus Artisan Rugs Scholarship Grant page.
Deadline for the submission will be February 8, 2020, and the winners of the grant will be announced on February 28, 2020.
