Application Form for Student Financial Awards

We believe that innovative new solutions to both longstanding and new issues in lighting require a broader medley of backgrounds and perspectives in the lighting workforce. Through our Architectural Lighting Certificate program, we hope to be a part of the solution by providing a means by which individuals with unique learning, career, and life experiences can advance their education and qualifications for fully engaging in the future of the lighting industry. 

To facilitate the broadening of the voices that inform our industry’s future, students applying for admission into the Architectural Lighting Certificate program may apply for a Student Financial Award of $1500 per course, funded by industry partners and supporting individuals, which will be applied directly to the student’s tuition costs after enrollment in each course. 

Please complete this form to explain your interest and qualifications for a financial award.
