A more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable future is for all of us to design, and IDEO U believes that learning plays a crucial role in increasing the number of creative leaders to help drive this effort.

We prioritize reviewing and awarding financial assistance for applicants interested in enrolling in the upcoming course run. Please allow at least 15 days before a course start date to permit time for review. Applicants will receive an email with follow-up information regarding their financial assistance request.
