Architectural Education Foundation

AEF-WY is an affiliate of AIA Wyoming

The Architectural Education Foundation of AIA Wyoming is pleased to announce its scholarship program. Since its inception, the Foundation awarded nearly $180,000 in scholarships to deserving Wyoming students of architecture. We hope this year to have many applicants and to award scholarships to all eligible applicants.

To be eligible, students must have an anticipated college path leading to a degree in architecture. Eligible students must also meet one of the following three criteria: be a graduate of a Wyoming high school, a graduate of the University of Wyoming, or a current Wyoming resident. College freshman through Master of Architecture graduate students are eligible for scholarships.

Scholarships will be awarded on a graduated scale based on the college year you are entering and consider overall need, ability, desire and determination. Additional considerations include the applicant’s potential to successfully complete their architectural education and enter architecture as a profession. Applicant submittal and eligibility requirements vary based on the college year the applicant is entering. Additional information is available on the scholarship application.
