Architecture school tuition is among the most expensive for a higher education degree. This is before the cost of materials, food, housing, and expensive software. If you are looking for a little bit of financial help for school, or you are interested in winning an award to travel around the world, we have put together a list of architecture-specific scholarships and fellowships! Check back here for up-to-date information on scholarships, grants, and awards available to architecture students!
