Build Your Architectural Legacy in Washington DC
Targeted Academic Path
This specialized program focuses exclusively on the field of Architecture for students entering undergraduate studies. It is designed for high school seniors graduating from schools within the D.C. region or community college students who are preparing to transfer into a degree program. To qualify the applicant must plan to enroll in a NAAB-accredited architecture program which ensures that your education meets the highest professional standards in the United States.
Candidate Requirements and Talent Evaluation
Eligibility is centered on residents of the District of Columbia who demonstrate a balanced profile of academic achievement and artistic potential. Beyond maintaining a strong grade point average applicants must showcase their creative skills through drawing ability and a portfolio that reflects their interest in the field. The selection committee also looks for active extracurricular involvement and a clear demonstration of financial need. Successful candidates are those who can articulate their passion for architecture and prove their readiness for the challenges of an undergraduate design curriculum.
Exceptional Financial Support and Renewal
The scholarship provides a substantial award of twenty thousand dollars to help cover the costs of tuition and educational expenses. Unlike one-time grants this scholarship offers the incredible benefit of being renewable every year until graduation. As long as the recipient remains enrolled in their architecture major and maintains a high level of academic standing they can rely on this continued financial foundation throughout their entire undergraduate career. This long-term commitment allows students to focus more on their studio projects and less on the financial pressures of higher education.
