The grant includes a 3-D laser scan of your current classroom or another learning space that will serve as a starting point of a conversation about your needs.

Key Dates:


Application Deadline:   Wednesday, January 31st

We are changing the application process this year by asking applicants for a video submission.  In your five minutes, or less, video please give a detailed explanation of your role at your school and why you believe you are deserving of the Free2Learn grant.  Please let us know what’s not working with existing furniture, what challenges are students facing, what are your challenges as an educator, what would you use the new furniture for and how would it change and improve your instruction.

 

These videos may be used later to highlight the education furniture grant on Fre3dom Interiors’ website.

Grant Winner Announced:   Wednesday, February 21st

The recipient of the Free2Learn Education Grant will be notified via email.  Additionally, we will make a public announcement through our website and social media channels: www.fre3dom.net, @freedominteriors

Classroom 3-D Laser Scan:    First Week of March

Your educational space will be scanned with our 3D Laser scanner, which will allow us to properly space plan and begin conversation about your needs so that we can select furniture to best fit your learning environment.

Live Design Collaboration:   Spring 2024

Using our Live Design technology, you will be able to experience your new space before we place a single furniture order. Any changes you want happen right in front of your eyes.

Final Design Approval:    June 2024

After revisions through the Live Design meeting, a final design will be provided to you with furniture and finishes specifications that you will approve.
