Start a Studio
Are you so passionate about DFA that you know you’re ready to commit your next school year to get it going on your campus? This is not a decision for the wary. Starting a studio takes commitment, patience, and teamwork, but it also has the potential to be the most amazing experience of your life.
Apply
The DFA application is not only a chance for us to get to know you, but also a chance for you to try out Design for America and see if it’s something you truly want to commit yourself to next year. The application will take place over three parts as outlined below.
Sorry, Design for America applications for fall 2012 are NOW CLOSED. You can still register your interest to learn more and a team member will follow up with you in Spring.
If any spots remain, we will re-open applications in the Spring. With students from over 60 schools signed up to apply, check out some of them here!
