Those selected as Diversity Advancement Scholars will join a select group of students who through imagination, commitment to excellence, and participation in a supportive network can change the landscape of the profession and future of the built environment. Applicants must submit a comprehensive essay that tells us how you see the potential of architecture to improve communities and how this influences your passion for becoming an architect.
Eligible students must be a US citizen or permanent resident and be: a high school student planning to enroll in a NAAB-accredited architecture degree program; a rising second-year college student in a NAAB-accredited architecture degree program; or a technical school or community college student who has completed high school or its equivalent and intends to transfer to a NAAB-accredited architecture program. Scholarships may be renewed for up to five years.
