Wisconsin Students Out-of-State Study Scholarships
The Wisconsin Architects Foundation
is pleased to offer scholarships of $1000 each to outstanding
Wisconsin students who are pursuing architectural studies out-of-state.
This amount may change based on the availability of funding. 
The selection
committee will consider the student's GPA, financial need, likelihood
of graduating, leadership abilities, and community involvement. Preference
will be given to students who demonstrate a commitment to the discipline
of architecture and are completing the terminal years of their education
(i.e. upperclassmen). The committee encourages, minority, female, and
disabled students to apply.
The Wisconsin Architects Foundation confers
these grants with an understanding that the recipients will support
the WAF when he/she is financially able to do so. The criteria for eligibility
is defined below:
- The student must have received his/her high school diploma from a
Wisconsin high school.
- The student must be currently attending or planning to attend an NAAB-accredited
school of architecture within a First Professional Degree or Post-graduate
degree program.
- Any student who has previously received a WAF scholarship is ineligible.
