Toward An Inclusive Architecture Scholarship Fund Grant

The Toward An Inclusive Architecture Scholarship Fund, managed by the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, aims to empower Tennesseans of color by providing financial support for architectural education. This initiative not only covers educational expenses at accredited architecture schools but also enhances professional growth through internship placements at partner firms. By fostering diversity in architecture, the scholarship seeks to create a more inclusive and thriving community in Tennessee.

The Toward An Inclusive Architecture Scholarship is an endowment that helps create a path for Tennesseans of color to start an architectural education and seeks to nurture individuals entering the profession. The scholarship provides both funds to help pay for their education at the architecture school of their choice, and opportunities for professional development through priority placement in internship programs at participating partner firms.
