WRNS Studio Foundation Advisory Program (Established in 2021): In 2021, the WRNS Studio Foundation introduced the Advisory Program to provide crucial support to future Black architects and designers. This initiative serves as a safe space for these individuals to navigate their academic, licensure, and certification journeys.

The Foundation plays a pivotal role in connecting scholarship recipients with advisors who share personal and professional compatibility. These advisors engage with recipients on a regular, one-on-one basis until their graduation. During this period, advisors and advisees collaboratively set expectations, address needs, and determine meeting intervals. Furthermore, advisors leverage their professional networks to coordinate specialized support for the recipient.

The Foundation's intention is to renew scholarships annually, ensuring continued support until graduation for students who maintain the required GPA for program completion.
