The Minority/Disadvantaged Scholarship provides assistance to high school graduates from a minority and/or financially disadvantaged background who intend to pursue a professional degree in architecture in a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board.

Applicants must be residents of the U.S. and seniors entering a professional degree program at an NAAB-accredited program of architecture.

There is a two-part application process. You must first be nominated by an individual who can confirm your interest in architecture and endorse your qualifications to meet the demands of a rigorous curriculum. After a review of the nomination, eligible candidates will be sent an application form.
