Silver Spring, Md. — Key decision makers at schools, colleges, and universities involved in the design, build, management, or renovation of an educational facility are invited to apply for a scholarship to attend EDspaces 2019, Oct. 23 through 25 in Milwaukee, Wisc.

Now in its ninth year, the EDspaces Scholarship Program funds registration and hotel accommodations for facility planners, superintendents, purchasing officers, curriculum developers, and related staff employed by schools, districts, colleges, and universities. The program also assists school and college officials in making more effective decisions for their ongoing and future facility construction or renovation projects and to take part in the discussion on the impact of technology, pedagogy, and space on student learning.

“EDspaces is such a valuable experience!” says, Cindy Windsor, Purchasing Manager at Wayzata [MN] Public Schools. “I always learn so much at the educational sessions and am energized and excited about the new products I’ve seen. The opportunity to meet with vendors, see the latest products and network with colleagues all in one location is so beneficial.”

Last year, scholarship recipients had bonds and plans for more than $13.5 billion in renovation and construction projects for 2018–2020. The program provided key decision makers from more than 130 universities, community , and schools/districts with high-quality education, tours, and networking crucial to their professional development.

The EDspaces Scholarship Program is a competitive application process. Eligibly is determined upon completion and submission of an application online. Applications provide information about planned renovation, re-purposed spaces, or construction projects. Scholarship applications are evaluated based on the projected number and value of potential building projects and additional eligibility criteria. Completed applications are due by May 15, 2019.
