The Chapter Student Member Event Grant is administered by the International Furnishings and Design Association Educational Foundation to support IFDA chapter events that connect with IFDA student members. Its focus is chapter-level activity and the connection between chapters and student members within the furnishings and design community, rather than undergraduate student scholarships.
The foundation offers five grants each year as part of its educational and philanthropic support for the home furnishings and design communities. Funding is designated for the applicant’s stated event purpose. This program supports chapter events involving student members, distinct from the foundation’s other scholarships and professional grants.
