The AIA Dayton Architecture Scholarship Fund of The Dayton Foundation was established in 1997 to encourage and assist students graduating or graduated from high schools in the Dayton/Miami Valley Region to pursue a degree in architecture at a college or university with an NAAB accredited architecture program.
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of their academic achievements, artistic talent, and an essay about their educational and career goals as they relate to the field of Architecture. The scholarships are funded through the generous donations of AIA Dayton Members, contributions from AIA Dayton, and through a matching funds grant from the American Institute of Architects. The fund is advised by AIA Dayton, a chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
Since 2007, the scholarship fund has awarded 64 scholarships totaling $80,600. To contribute to the Scholarship Fund, click here.
