 Students and Interns
Scholarships
The architectural profession depends on graduates to be our future’s leaders and conquer challenges that lay ahead for the profession. AIA West Virginia supports architectural education and awards a total of $13,750.00 in scholarships to West Virginia residents that are pursuing a career in Architecture. In 2006, the total awards were increased because of a $4000 grant from National AIA to supplement the award. Scholarships are available for students enrolled in accredited and non-accredited architectural programs. Completed applications are due May 30 every year.
AIA West Virginia Scholarships
AIAWV each year awards a single or multiple scholarships totaling $12,500.00 to a deserving West Virginia resident(s) who has completed by May 30th at least their sixth semester (junior year) of an accredited architectural program. In 2006 this amount was due in part to a $4000,00 grant from the National Component of AIA in Washington, DC and also includes a $1500.00 annual grant from CMA Engineering, given in memorial to their late founder, Floyd Clingenpeel, P.E. The Clingenpeel award goes to an architectural student who demonstrates his or her ability to develop project concepts utilizing sustainable principles, alternative energy systems or new technologies for environmental systems.
In addition, AIAWV Awards a $750.00 and $500.00 scholarship annually to students enrolled in an in-state architecture technology program. Each in-state program designates a design competition and the entries are judged and displayed at the annual AIA West Virginia annual meeting in November.
