SMITHGROUP DESIGN A BETTER FUTURE SCHOLARSHIP
We created the SmithGroup Design a Better Future scholarship program to put action to our mission to create a better future for our communities. This scholarship program provides tuition assistance and professional opportunities to students who demonstrate commitment to advancing inclusion in the design industry. Since its inception, the program has awarded $240,000 to 40 recipients across the United States.
Each year, five students who demonstrate a commitment to advancing an inclusive design industry are selected to receive a one-time award of $6,000 in tuition support. Recipients selected also receive a paid summer internship at any one of SmithGroup’s locations offering the student’s discipline (internship is a program requirement). The 2026 applications for the SmithGroup Design a Better Future Scholarship will be open until midnight on Monday, December 8, 2025.
