Scholarship Grantor’s Rights: This scholarship is sponsored by Multistudio, Amineh’s studio. The scholarship committee includes
members from Multistudio and NOMAarizona. The committee reserves their right to reject any or all scholarship applications,
to waive any informality or irregularity in any scholarship application received, and to be the sole judge of the merits of the
respective scholarship applications received. No implication of award or granting of scholarship will exist until Multistudio and
NOMAarizona issues a written award letter to the selected recipient.
The scholarship committee considers a variety of factors such as merit, community service participation, self confidence, passion
for design, leadership potential and under-representation in the student’s selected discipline or field of study among many other
factors. We are looking for a mosaic of qualities that add up to a student who exemplifies NOMAarizona’s core mission.
