Houzz Inc., the leading AI platform for construction and design, has announced the call for applications for its annual Houzz Scholarship Program. Houzz created the scholarship program as part of its ongoing commitment to helping the next generation of construction and design professionals launch successful careers through financial support, industry-leading technology and educational resources. 

“The future of construction and design depends on the next generation of talented professionals entering the industry with the skills and confidence to lead," said Liza Hausman, vice president of Industry Marketing at Houzz. "As AI continues to transform the way projects are developed, managed and delivered, it's important that students have opportunities to build both practical experience and fluency with the technology shaping the industry. Through the Houzz Scholarship and Houzz Pro for Students programs, we're helping prepare tomorrow's professionals for successful careers.”

The program awards five $2,500 scholarships in the categories of ‘Women in Architecture’, ‘Residential Design’, ‘Sustainable Residential Design’, ‘Residential Construction Management’ and ‘Skilled Trades’. Students pursuing studies in interior design, construction, architecture, landscape architecture, architectural engineering and the skilled trades are encouraged to apply. In addition to submitting a brief essay on their design and architecture influences, applicants create a Houzz professional student profile, where they can showcase their portfolio of work and network with more than 3 million active professionals around the world.
