Herman Miller Healthcare Scholarship - Deadline Extended

Herman Miller for Healthcare will sponsor eight intern architects to attend HealthcareDesign11, the fall conference of the Center for Health Design/AIA Academy of Architecture for Health. The conference will be held November 13-16, 2011 at the Gaylord Opryland in Nashville, TN.

Each selected intern architect will receive up to a $1,500 reimbursement to cover registration fees, air travel, and hotel room costs. (Note: This amount typically does not cover all the expenses one incurs to attend a conference.)

This scholarship program is part of Herman Miller's continuing commitment to excellence in healthcare architecture and support of young architects.
