By Home Furnishings Business in on December 15, 2009 Horacio Hernandez, a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, has won $4,000 as the 2009 recipient of the International Interior Design Association's Kimball Office Scholarship Fund. 
 
Made possible through the generosity of Kimball Office, this fund, with emphasis on recognizing and awarding diversity at the college/university level, is a three-year program that presents a financial award to a senior year student pursuing a degree in interior design. 
 
The winning student, of African, Asian, Latin, or Native American heritage, is selected based upon excellence in both academics and promising design talent.

"Horatio's portfolio showcases a perfect combination of design ability, technical skills and flair for presentation," said Felice L. Silverman, IIDA, chair of the IIDA Foundation. "From initial design process to project completion, Horatio is able to convey his design intent and solution with incredible depth, clarity and appeal well beyond the ability of most students at his level."
