Under 26 and interested in a Design career? IED Barcelona has a scholarship contest open to students globally.

Ever fancied yourself studying abroad? Maybe in a European city, with art nouveau architecture that still inspires as you walk around the city, great nightlife, lots of sunshine and even a beach? Perhaps with the world's most visited church, the work in progress Sagrada Familia, seen from your small studio apartment if you lean your head out the window just right? A kid can dream, right?

Serious now, If you want to get a solid design education, but don't have the funds for it yet, this is a great opportunity. The Istituto Europeo di Design, IED Barcelona, has a scholarship competition on for anyone under the age of 26. Yes, anyone. Globally.
