PAVE Global, in partnership with Bergmeyer, is excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Bergmeyer Scholarship + Mentorship Experience. Celebrating its 10th year, this annual scholarship program is designed to support and recognize emerging leaders in the fields of interior design, industrial design, architecture, and graphic design. The selected student will receive a $2,500 scholarship and will have the opportunity to participate in an immersive in-person learning and mentorship experience with some of the industry’s top designers at Bergmeyer in Boston, MA.
“Bergmeyer is proud to partner with PAVE to offer the 10th annual Bergmeyer Scholarship and in-person Mentorship Experience in support of students pursuing future careers in the fields of Interior Design, Architecture, Industrial Design, and Graphic Design," said Bergmeyer’s President & CEO Rachel Zsembery, AIA, LEED AP BD+C. "We look forward to celebrating the future design leaders of consumer environments through supporting PAVE’s mission of meaningfully connecting students, educators, and design professionals.”
This experiential scholarship program provides an incredible opportunity for students to gain hands-on mentorship and insight into the design process, while also furthering their education with financial support. The award, which is sent directly to the recipient's institution, may be used for tuition or other applicable schooling costs. Additionally, all expenses, including airfare, hotel, and per diem, will be covered for the immersive mentorship experience at Bergmeyer’s offices in Boston.
