Architecture firms around the globe continue to exercise their efforts in providing scholarship opportunities to students and emerging designers looking to pursue careers in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, and other adjacent professions.
This is the case for international architecture firm Gensler, which has announced recipients of this year's scholarship cycle. The 2022 Gensler Scholarships awarded include the Rising Black Designers Scholarship, the Brinkmann Scholarship, and a set of micro-scholarships presented to ten students.
Scholarship Details: In 2020, Gensler launched the Rising Black Designers Scholarship + Design Challenge to help talented design students overcome the costs associated with higher education. This annual program awards tuition scholarships, micro-scholarships for books and materials, and opportunities for summer internships to underrepresented Black students enrolled in U.S. not-for-profit architecture programs. Students receive $10,000 tuition scholarship.
According to Gensler, tuition scholarship recipients were asked to select and respond to one of four prompts that address "current challenges in society, such as reestablishing trust in public safety; reinventing the human experience post-pandemic; reimagining ways for designers to make a difference; and designing for racial equality and inclusiveness in our practice, communities, and cities."
Scholarship Details: Established in 1999 as a memorial to Donald G. Brinkmann, an inspirational interior designer and former Gensler Principal, the Gensler Brinkmann Scholarship celebrates Brinkmann’s career-long commitment to nurturing emerging design talent. This annual program awards tuition scholarships and opportunities for summer internships to students enrolled in U.S. not-for-profit interior design programs. Candidates are evaluated on their analysis and problem-solving skills, design development, graphic presentation, communication skills, and passion.
Scholarship Details: Ten students were awarded micro-scholarships, which are awards intended to supplement the added expense of studio materials and books.
