About the Scholarship

AIA Alaska has had a scholarship program since 2000, and has awarded scholarships of up to $4,000 per year to deserving students who live in Alaska but must pursue an architectural education at universities outside our state. As you know, this requires the payment of non-resident tuition, the cost of books, studios, and travel. No amount is too small!

Our Ken Maynard Memorial Scholarship Fund is managed by the Alaska Community Foundation as an endowed scholarship fund, and will be an educational resource for years to come.

Students

Each year, the student application period for the scholarship opens on January 15th, and applications are due by March 15th.  Students that are awarded a scholarship will receive it for the Fall semester (start of school year).

Notifications are sent to all the accredited architecture schools that we have on our list asking them to pass this info along to any Alaska resident 3rd or 4th year students enrolled in an architect program. If you could, please pass along this scholarship opportunity to students and interns that you know within your firms/community/family.
