Scholarship Program

Congrats 2024 Scholarship Recipients:
In 2024 the School of Architecture Scholarship Committee selected two students to receive our AIA Honolulu Scholarship:

• Grace Langley continues into her second year of the Bachelor of Environmental Design program. She aspires to create sustainable infrastructure that not only withstands the test of time but also addresses the urgent challenges posed by climate change.

• Lijin Zhao is a graduate student who will enter her third year in the Global Track and DArch programs. Her research is intertwined with sustainability and the unique context of Hawai‘i.

AIA Honolulu, together with additional grant support from AIA National and the Hawaii Architectural Foundation, awards $1500 scholarships to both students for the academic year.

To be eligible the recipient must:

• Be enrolled full-time as an undergraduate or graduate student
• Have completed at least two years of study at the University of Hawaii School of Architecture
• Minimum GPA of 3.0
• Submit a letter of introduction and samples of work with a one-page description of concepts

Student applicants are judged on their overall ability, desire, determination and potential for successfully completing their architectural education. Consideration is taken for the concepts presented in the following special interests: Sense of Place, Sustainability, Alternative Energy Systems and New Technologies for Environmental Systems.
