WRNS Studio Foundation Scholarship

Ends on

WRNS Studio Foundation offers scholarships to encourage and support Black students pursuing higher education and careers in architecture by providing multi-year academic and financial support with dedicated advisors who also assist in developing new professional relationships. 

Students who identify as Black or African-American are eligible for this scholarship. Eligibility must be confirmed by both self-certification and within your letters of reference.

 Full-time students pursuing degrees in Architecture or Design at approved NAAB-accredited 5-year or 4+ programs in the continental United States and Hawaii are eligible to apply. For example: 

  • a high school student planning to enroll in a NAAB-accredited architecture degree program;
  • a second-year college student in a NAAB-accredited architecture degree program; or,
  • a technical school or community college student (with 12+ studio credits) who has completed high school or its equivalent and intends to transfer to a NAAB-accredited architecture program

NAAB-accredited degree programs may be a five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree, or a four-year pre-professional bachelor's degree that will be followed by a Master of Architecture degree. The Foundation intends to renew scholarships annually, until graduation, for students that maintain a GPA required for program completion.
