About the Program
The intent of the Division Scholar Program is to foster increased interest in the study of, and specialization in, urban design and historic preservation, and the interrelationship between these two areas of planning at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
Up to two paid scholarships are awarded annually. The term of the scholarship may span anywhere from six months to one year and will include approximately 80 work hours. The scholar will receive a stipend commensurate to the agreed-upon work hours. Scholars conduct their duties remotely, and report directly to the Division's Executive Committee.
