ZGF Norm Zimmer Scholarship in partnership with The Oregon Community Foundation
Established in 2004, in memory of ZGF founding partner Norm Zimmer, the Norm Zimmer Scholarship exemplifies Norm’s spirit and devotion to design, community, and life-long learning. With this guiding ethos in mind, each year one student is selected to receive $10,000 for university tuition and fees, and a paid internship with ZGF.
ZGF is committed to supporting the next generation of designers and we encourage all interested applicants across Architectural, Interior, Urban, or Landscape design to apply. We are looking for students who display a commitment to their craft and a dedication to personal development in their chosen field.
ZGF is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We encourage under-represented minorities and women to apply for the scholarship.
