I'm a high school junior in Wisconsin planning to study architecture and would love to know if there are any state-specific scholarships for architecture students. Does anyone have recommendations or know where to find this info?
Absolutely, there are a number of scholarships available specifically for students in Wisconsin intending to study architecture!
1. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Wisconsin provides several scholarships to students aiming to study Architecture. This includes the AIA Wisconsin Architects Foundation scholarships, which awards scholarships specifically to students who are enrolled in an accredited architectural program.
2. The Wisconsin Architect Foundation also has the Dorothée Martens Architectural Scholarship, which offers a financial award to women from Wisconsin pursuing architectural studies either in-state or out-of-state.
3. The Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN) provides numerous scholarships and financial assistance to students pursuing a degree in the creative field, including architecture.
Places to find more scholarship opportunities include your high school's guidance office, the university's financial aid office, or the architecture school of the university you hope to attend. They'll likely have information on more localized scholarships. Additionally, make sure to fill out the FAFSA to be considered for additional need-based aid.
