Houzz Inc., the platform for home remodeling and design, announced the call for entries for Houzz Scholarships, a program that supports the next generation of residential renovation and design professionals: students studying architecture, interior design, landscape architecture or construction management.

Houzz awards four $2,500 scholarships in the categories of ‘Women in Architecture’, ‘Residential Design’, ‘Sustainable Residential Design’ and ‘Residential Construction Management’. Scholarships are awarded biannually in the spring and fall, and Houzz is now accepting applications for fall 2019.

The deadline for fall 2019 scholarships is June 30, 2019.
