Connecticut Architecture Foundation Scholarships

The Connecticut Architecture Foundation Inc. was established by the Connecticut Chapter of The American Institute of Architects in 1978. This organization's mission is to raise the public awareness of, and expectations for, Architecture and the built environment. We accomplish these goals through the funding of programs in education, scholarship, mentorship and research. Our administration of the Foundation's Scholarship Program is an important part of that work.
