AIA/AAF Minority Disadvantaged Scholarship Program

The AIA/AAF Minority Disadvantaged Scholarship provides assistance to high school graduates, college freshmen, and community college students from a minority and/or financially disadvantaged background who intend to pursue a NAAB-accredited professional degree (5-year BA or BA + MA) in Architecture.
In June 2011, the AIA selected four AIA/ AAF Minority Disadvantaged Scholarship recipients.

Eligibility
Applicants must be legal residents of the United States and either:
  • High school seniors entering a NAAB accredited professional program in architecture
  • College freshmen attending a NAAB accredited professional program in architecture, or
  • Technical school or community college students that have completed high school or its equivalent and intend to transfer to a NAAB accredited professional program
Application
The 2012 application is now available. Application and supporting materials must be postmarked by March 16, 2012. We hope to notify all candidates by early June 2012. View the 2012 flyer.

Award
Up to five scholarships between $3,000-$4,000 will be awarded in 2012. Scholarships may be renewed every year until the completion of the degree program.
