    Scholarship
    I wonder if I can get a scholarship for interior designing even I have not majored in it in my under-grades. I have no former experiences in this field, just that I think I have many ideas on it.

    Its possible but unlikely if you go to the right place and apply for one in your home country... we however do not give out scholarships.

    You would have to show an interest in design. "Good ideas" aren't enough. Scholarship committees want to see excellent grades in arts classes and some kind of community service in the design industry or an art field.

    Usually based on both proven scholastic performance... meaning the better your grades are and in the right classes the more favorably they look at you... and a lesser part is your need.

    How old are you? Have you done anything so far with design -- art classes or volunteer work?

    Wanting its not going to cut it... there are only so many slices of the pie to hand out... and the people that have done the MOST to get to that goal and have been the best at it will get them...

    THere is an old quote my father used to like telling me all the time...

    "Put your wants on one hand and poop in the other....and see which one gets filled up first"

    He meant you can hope all you want... if you want something you are going to have to work for it... nobody will hand it to you.
