Duration of Scholarships

Scholarships can be renewed for up to four years or until completing your undergraduate degree, whichever comes first. Scholarships are renewed each year pending academic progress.

Scholarship Benefits

Design Circle Scholars are eligible for up to U.S. $25,000.00 per academic year for required tuition and fees*. The exact amount of each scholarship will be determined by several critical factors including:

• the Scholar’s expected financial need
• the location of their college/university
• the type of college/university (state university, private university, etc.)

Tuition amounts vary greatly from country to country, and Scholars attending college/university in countries with higher tuition costs will receive larger scholarship awards. Every effort will be made to cover most, if not all, of each Scholar’s required tuition costs. However, please be aware that some scholarship recipients, specifically those attending higher cost universities in the United States, may not have their full financial need met by this scholarship if the cost exceeds U.S. $25,000.00 per academic year.

In addition to receiving the scholarship, the Design Circle members will offer mentorship opportunities to the scholarship winners. This will help strengthen the impact of the scholarship, while providing real-world experience to the scholarship recipients during their education.

*Barring extreme cases, the calculation of tuition and fees will not include room & board.

Payment of Awards

For scholarship recipients studying at a U.S. college or university, a check will be sent directly to your educational institution. Scholarship recipients attending a non-U.S. higher education institution will receive their scholarship payment either by check or wire transfer.
