The Be Original Americas Student Design Fellowship is now accepting applications. The deadline is March 12th www.beoriginalamericas.com/fellowship

The non-profit organization, dedicated to advocating for authentic design, is offering two undergraduate students currently enrolled in their 2nd or 3rd year of study the opportunity for a 7-week immersive fellowship program, June 11-July 31, to learn about all facets of creating innovative, high-quality products through hands-on, in-the-field learning. At the completion of the Fellowship, each student will receive a $3,500 grant.
