Scholarships to 2009 Greener-by-Design Conference

Steelcase, the global manufacturer of office furnishings, has funded four student scholarships to the 2009 Greener by Design conference. The four lucky student winners of the Steelcase Sustainable Design Contest will receive full conference registration, as well as travel and lodging at the event, scheduled to take place May 19-20, in San Francisco, CA.

Entering is easy:

1) Write 500 words or less about your design—defined broadly as a product, service, or business venture—with an environmental/social benefit.

2) Briefly express—through the media of your choosing—how you view the intersection of design and corporate responsibility, and your perspective on how design can play a catalytic role improving people’s lives. You can submit a photo, a short statement, or even a youtube video.

3) Submit the above materials plus a brief application form to info@netimpact.org.

Applications will be judged by Net Impact, Steelcase, and GreenBiz.com. Please note that all applicants must be full-time students.

Hurry – the application deadline is Friday, April 24, 2009.
