The following is an Aug. 11 press release from the Architects Foundation, the philanthropic partner of The American Institute of Architects, announcing the first recipients of the AIA Large Firm Roundtable Architect Registration Examination scholarship. The Architects Foundation founded the scholarship in 2021.
The Architects Foundation today announced recipients for the AIA Large Firm Roundtable (LFRT) ARE Scholarship.
The Architects Foundation’s AIA LFRT ARE Scholarship helps fulfill the LFRT’s goal to double the number of licensed Black architects by 2030. The scholarship defrays the costs associated with the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), provides a one-year subscription to ArchiPrep, and covers one year of Associate AIA or NOMA member dues.
“The future of our profession is bright. These scholarship winners will continue to build upon efforts to push our profession to be equitable, inclusive, and diverse,” said Jonathan Moody, AIA, chair of the review committee and co-chair of the LFRT Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) committee.
“I look through the list and see 34 steps on our continued journey of progress. The result will be better outcomes for all those we serve.”
